How much does an electronics repairer make?

In a shop or factory, they test controls with meters or software, find faults, repair or calibrate equipment, and log the work. They may stand or kneel; emergencies can mean evening or weekend callouts.

Did you know? They sometimes replace seals in watertight electrical equipment, so electronics repair can include keeping water out—not just fixing circuits.

In the United States, finish high school and learn electronics at a technical school or community college; an associate degree is another route. New hires train beside experienced technicians, and certification is optional.

School needed: Vocational school or a few years' experience

Good for people who like building and doing and keeping things organized

Why does pay differ?

In the United States, experience, valued certificates, and hard-to-find repair skills can raise pay. Earnings also vary by employer and industry, location, job difficulty, and extra pay for overtime or shifts.
