When i took my test i was surprised how easy the trade portion was. The law was hard. But the trade was a joke. i wish the state will make the trade much harder.
The only reason you need a contractors license, is that you can do work worth more than $500. having a license does not mean by any imagination that you know the electrical system. I know a person that took the electrical portion of the test 5 times, finally passed it and now he calles himself a master electrician. That is a joke that a person can take the test until they pass.
Consumers believe that if one has a license they automaticly know the trade.
And furthermoer, my license starts with 7 and i had to earn mine. So, having a license that starts with 7 does n ot mean that you got your off of the shelf.
