Odds of Getting In
The experts predict a much higher than average growth rate for elevator technician jobs, which means more chances for you to land a position (source).
If you want to live in a large city, you're likely to have ample opportunity to work for a big business, hospital, hotel, or high-rise apartment building. If the beach is more your style, there are plenty of opportunities there, too. As you might expect, the elevators in tall condos and resort buildings have elevators that really get a workout.
However, you're unlikely to find a job in a small town with a low skyline, so if the idea of big city living isn't too appealing, this may not be the career for you. There could be a middle ground available by choosing a mid-sized city, but there may not be as much money or work involved there either.
