Correct

Electricians have to work in less than desirable conditions (dusty attics, outdoors, etc). Most of the material is your responsibility.

Accidents can and do happen. The days where you are less than 100% but you would be able to WFH don't exist.

Think it's annoying to plug a network cable under your desk? It's like that but 7hrs per day or more.

And developers don't have the risk of death by electrocution even with low voltage - when you work with Medium and High voltage its a lot more dangerous

Electrical is like plugging in a network cable through the wall and up the ceiling, then down a really slim corridor to another wall, before finally placing the cord in the PC (all while trying to not pump another cord going the same route.) I worked beside a couple of electricians in my early 20s and it was fun but frustrating (like programming.)
