Not an Electrician but as an Architect I am on job sites with them all the time. Almost entirely commercial though.
I love being an Architect, but if I had to do it all over again, I really think I would have rather become an Electrician. It seems to be really interesting work and for the most part it's not as dirty as Plumbing which is also highly compensated. At this point, I get paid more than an Electrician so changing careers doesn't make sense.
Also consider if your state has Electrician's Unions or not. I hate unions but their members do get paid more.
EDIT: People did mention HVAC which is good too, but Elevator Repair should also be a consideration, very good pay.

I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good.
