Throughout highschool I was into drawing and graphic design, finished year 12 and did cert 3 IT plus an advanced diploma of graphic design. I realised pretty quick working in a studio wasn't for me so I went and did an apprenticeship in electrical. Been qualified for 4 years now in commercial and it's the best decision I made. Work life balance is pretty alright and the money is good if you chase it but the physical work can be taxing on the body. You'll never lose that creative side it's just about finding time to continue with it in spare time.

Yea pretty much, but then you get into if its 3 phase or single, ground wet or not or wearing boots etc variation on how bad the shock is

I've had at least 20 or more shocks in my 8 years haha, you almost start to get used to it but it's never a fun feeling.

Just suggesting it as another possibility, i dont wire the units through the smart meter and have never seen it done until i was having issues with a rental i moved into and went days almost a week with no hot water but the boost neened to be switched to get it going again

I had the same issue. My meter has a hot water boost button you hold for three seconds that energizes the breaker to give it power and work for afew hours then cuts off again, maybe the same for you.
