    If you can get the electrical and instrumentation apprenticeship this would be the better option in my opinion. I'm not sure about the job prospects but I would imagine someone else can answer that.

    I agree.

    I served my time as an electrician. When I worked on the same projects as instrumentation technicians i saw that not only was their work more interesting and "cleaner" but they were better paid. This is why I developed an interest in instrumentation.

    Having both electrical and instrumentation is a huge advantage especially when commissioning. This makes someone far more employable.
