No.
The point I was making is that it would seem as though a number of electricians undervalue their trade and price their time at an unrealistic level. A lot of forum threads mention this - particularly in relation to new builds and re-wires.
While gas engineers might currently get a better average hourly rate, who's to say that the situation wont be reversed in a number of years if people re-train to chase better wages and demand for their services drops?
I don't presently work in either industry, so simply wish to provide some alternative angles for consideration. You're looking at a considerable investment of your time an effort, not to mention money, so think about more than what either trade might earn today.
