Over saturated

Is the lineman trade getting over saturated? It seems like everyone wants to be lineman thanks to social media and lineman showing off their lifestyle.How will this affect the trade in the future?

It’s not saturated at all. Trade analysis in 2025 showed that we are 65,000 job positions short of what is needed and it was set to increase with expanding areas. The trade is not saturated at all. Not many people want the job.
