∙ 12y agothe cons of being an electrician are you are exposed to the danger of shock and electrocution if you do not follow the proper saftey regulations (like turning off the power, using lockout/tagout to prevent the power being turned back on), or wear the proper protective equipment (insulated gloves, fire resistant clothing when working on live circuits). Sometimes traveling out of town for work when there is a shortage of work in your home area means being away from friends and family even though you might be making good money out of town.

∙ 14y agoAn electrician's job is dangerous because electricity is invisible, you can not tell if the circuit is on or off. Being an electrician can actually be fairly safe if you get the proper training (OSHA 30, NFPA 70E - Electrical Safety Work Practices).
