Electrician Hourly Rate T-Shirt

$26.63 NZD

You did not go through years of training, pass your licensing exams, invest in professional-grade tools, and build a career on diagnosing and solving electrical problems so that someone could stand eighteen inches behind you watching and offering commentary. The standard rate covers the work. Everything above the standard rate covers the experience of doing the work while also managing a situation that someone else created.

The client who watches — they mean well. They are just curious. They are also in the way and asking questions at the exact moment that requires full concentration and silence. Rate adjustment: $150/hr.
The client who helps — they are definitely being helpful. They are handing you things you did not ask for and moving things you needed to stay where they were. Rate adjustment: $175/hr.
The client who tried fixing it first — they watched a video. They had some wire nuts. They were confident. The job is now three times as complicated as the original problem and involves undoing everything they did before addressing the original issue. Rate adjustment: $200/hr.
The client who tells you how — they read an article. They know someone who does this. They have thoughts. Rate adjustment: $250/hr. Minimum two hours.
The voltage tester and pliers on this shirt are not decorative. They are the tools of someone who knows exactly what they are doing and would prefer to be allowed to do it.

MAKES A GREAT GIFT FOR: The perfect gift for any electrician, electrical contractor, or skilled tradesperson in your life. Whether it is a birthday gift, Father's Day gift, Christmas gift, or just a perfectly timed professional validation gift — any electrician who has experienced every line of this rate card will laugh immediately and wear this shirt to every job site where the message is relevant. A funny, accurate, and professionally vindicating gift for electrician boyfriends, tradesperson husbands, and electrical professional dads whose rate card has always been internally justified.

PERFECT FOR:
-Professional electricians and electrical contractors who have a story for every line on this rate card
-Licensed electricians who have been doing this long enough to have developed a very specific pricing philosophy
-Independent electrical tradespeople who set their own rates and have been mentally applying these surcharges for years
-Electrical apprentices who will understand every line of this within their first year on the job
-Anyone in the skilled trades who recognizes this rate structure from their own profession
-Electricians who want a shirt that handles the rate conversation before it even starts
