If you are going to work on big stuff ,like radio or TV transmitters,working with a "Sparky" could give you very useful background on
Circuit Breakers,Mains Contactors,power boards & power control circuitry,all stuff you will run up against in High Power Radio Sites.
Quite a few Electricians do a lot of stuff that Electronics Techs traditionally did,such as phone wiring,CAT5/6 cabling,TV antennas, etc.
If you are going to be an EE,having an idea of what real world stuff looks like,may give you some "Street Cred" with the Techs & Electricians.
It would also be nice if you could learn a bit about Diesel Standby power plant,while you are at it!
