7 Levels of a Low-Voltage Technician Nobody Knows About

Low-voltage technicians are quietly out-earning electricians — and most people have never even heard of this trade. In this video, I break down the 7 levels of a low-voltage career from cable puller at $15/hr to business owner at $150K-$300K+. Every level includes exact pay ranges, certifications, and the timeline to get there. Fire alarm, security, AV integration, data center cabling, fiber optics — these specializations are in massive demand and pay more than most traditional trades. The work is mostly indoors, the physical toll is a fraction of other trades, and the path to six figures is wide open. Some links in this description are affiliate links.
