What is the difference between an Electrician and Electrical Technician?


I’m thinking of going to trade school, and the college I’m looking at offers Electrician courses as well as Electrical technician. If there is a difference, how do the jobs differ and what are differences in pay?

Thanks

    An electrician is a tradesman specializing in electrical wiring of buildings and related equipment. Electricians may be employed in the installation of new electrical components or the maintenance and repair of existing electrical infrastructure.

    A technician is generally someone in a technological field who has a relatively practical understanding of the general theoretical principles of that field, e.g., as compared to an engineer in that field. They are generally much more versed in technique compared to the average layman, or even the professional in that field. A mid-level of understanding of theory, and a high-level of technique, is generally mastered by the technician in order to become expert in a specific tool domain
