30 Ridiculous Electrician Fails That Prove Even Trade Schools Have D Students

There was a time where I was considering going to trade school, and part of me wishes I did. Instead I have a degree in graphic design that I don’t use and thousands of dollars in debt.

Maybe if I became an electrician I’d be making great money. I mean, you clearly don’t even have to be very good at it to work, based on these fail pictures.

These electrician fails are a mess. The D students from trade school are out there working, and likely causing fires and mayhem everywhere they go.
