Danish electrician average is ~80k. Danish software developer is ~100k, but with much higher variance.
However there's also quite a lot of difference in training between Danish and American electricians. I specialised in telecom - part of my curriculum was configuring Cisco routers. The subject of my oral exam was TCP/IP. I love the variety. Yesterday I was chasing down a rogue DHCP server on a network. Today I was mounting a drainage pump controller.
But as they say, do what makes you happy. I would rather be happy at 60k than miserable at 130k.
