I'd be delighted if one of my kids told me he or she wanted to be an electrician. There will always be a demand, there are fun toys and interesting tech to play with, there are physical things you can look at and say, "I built that!", and unlike plumbers, you don't often deal with raw sewage.
You don't get vilified as lazy and overpaid by the lumpen like teachers, or publish-or-perish while bowing and scraping for grant money like professors. You're not in college and beyond until your late 20s or longer, like doctors, not to mention the insane student loan debt and crushing malpractice premiums.
And, you're not subject to the whims of either the stock market or PHBs or drunken executives the way we in the corporate world are.
