Well, I worked as an apprentice for a bit doing commercial work. It’s pretty easy to hit up the local union to work as a wireman to get into the apprenticeship program. You’d be working full time with good benefits while getting all your classes in. Not sure how involved you’d be willing to get to “try out” electrician work. You might call one of the local electricians around to see if they’d be willing to let you job shadow. Some master electricians run off to run their own business once they get their hours and pass the test, so who knows what they’d be willing to consider, although I imagine a majority probably wouldn’t be too comfortable with the liability risk.

Either way, you could probably call the local union to see what they have for those curious, might let you sit in on a class or something, I dunno. I can answer some questions as well if you’d like.
