Posted by ElectricAL: . . .automatic permission to test for the local or state journeyman's license.
My bad. I should have typed Master's license.

Here in Minnesota the statute that describes the capabilities of a licensed Master Electrician is word for word identical to that of a Journeyman, except for additional words ". . .plan, lay out,. . ." in the definition of Master. So, not only does a Master get to do everything that a Journeyman does, s/he also gets to lay it out and plan it.

Interestingly, I originally applied to take my journeyman's test, was sent a form letter rejection for insufficient apprentice hours, with a typed in note: "But your BSEE qualifies you for the "A" Master electrician's exam."

I thought to myself, "There's a court case for descrimination because of too much education" but I got over it and changed my studying course to include more of the design side. Passed the test on the first shot. [Linked Image]

Maybe others could comment on whether the BSEE / Master permission corellates in their areas?
