So basically my dad is about to die and I'm 19 from Serbia, never had any electrical / electrical engineering experience even though my dad is an electrician but he didn't give a fuck about me lol. He has a big house that he uses as a workshop with like a billion electrical thingy ma jingy. He finished electrical school but I don't know where to start, any free or at least cheap online courses or books I can get to at least try and comprehend it all? I also like physics very much. Thanks.

eh he has basically everything, every bosch machine ever, every powertool, every tablesaw, grinders, like literally ever screw in the world, batteries, clamps, microwave parts, washing machine parts and whole washing machines (including my mom) old and new tv's, he knew how to weld and has one of those welding machines, he was good at soldering and shit, old keyboards and cassette players, vinyls, a lot of pc parts, random scrap, light bulbs, wires and a lot more. Is there a way that you can contact me? Anything is fine

Why not just go to school to become an electrician/electrical engineering (I'm not sure which, based on what you described, because electricians don't typically have workshops; they work out on job sites.) Regardless, workshops can basically print money if you know how to use the things in them. A lot of people have to learn to do things, AND THEN actually go buy all the things they need. You only need to do one of those steps, and just getting an education is the easier one of those two steps. Functional, producing workshops are fucking expensive.

Yeah he has like a really nice professional workshop that's huge. Basically have 1 large shed and one actual big house with 2 floors filled with scrap metal, washing machines, generators, rotors , blenders, all types of machines.
Sadly I can't actually become one the usual way, I'm in an art high school right now 4th year (there's 4) and I kinda wish I finished as an electrician cuz it all looks cool to me. So I gotta learn somehow else cuz I can't really go to that house a lot but I spend like 60% of my day on the PC lol. So pls help me become electrical engineer cuz I obviously have the capital to do so.

Do you like listening to music? Buy a shitty looking stereo reciever from the 70s or 80s that looks cool to you. Something from Fisher, Kenwood, Marantz, Yamaha, Pioneer etc. They were often sold as a series (entry level, mid level, etc). The entry level models of most series are pretty cheap and not a big deal if you fuck it up. Then get on audiokarma.org forums and search the forums for posts about your model and read up then start fucking with it and testing it with your test gear.
If recievers are boring to you, boom boxes may be more your style, can also work on them when their powered by battery to reduce chance of you fucking up your test gear or yourself.
Lastly, all electronic test gear has a make and model on it, just google for it and youll almost always find operator manual .pdfs and dudes on eevblog talking about it.
Learning to repair and diagnose electronics is pretty sweet imo even if you dont know a whole lot. If society collapsed I imagine if you had the ability to repair electronics/wiring you'd be a lot less likely to be tied to the hood of a car and turned into a slam pig by a powerful faction of raiders.

Find a local electrician and offer to be a free helper on the side to learn and see if you like the work. It's of great use to anyone with electricity being vital to civilization.
I've been a lifelong /diy'er and professional (jet mech, industrial maintenance, vehicles and more) and when I want to learn the basics I humbly find a skilled mentor and tell them they get some motivated free help for a bit in return for some training and experience. I've done this with motorcycles, cars and trucks privately and volunteered at my local community college in return for welding booth time and machine shop time. People like volunteers and it builds your human network. The car mechanics who taught me advanced work on multiple brands building vehicles from wrecks bought lunch and I got all the free parts there was room for when we went salvage yard harvesting. My motorcycle mentor got a free mechanic (I was already an aircraft mech but bikes are different enough to merit some training) as did the school, who I ended up working for.

>Why not just go to school to become an electrician/electrical engineering
Because not every pleb can go? You need to have decent grades and there are specialized exams that you need to pass in order to get in college. Not to mention most of it is hard if you aren't into electronics.
He said he is 19 so that means he finished high school, he could go again to change profession but that's up to him.
I would suggest him that he starts repairing stuff as hobby, it will take a few years to learn things but it can be a worthwhile thing to do.
