Heck, I was 50 before I even got State certified as a journeyman! (There was no certification available before then) , and still don't have a contractor's license. I guess I'll go get one, though. ..S

The problem with this competition is it is not equal from state to state or local to local. Some states will allow someone with a screw driver in their back pocket to take an exam, while others require up to 7 years experience with back up.

License? Who needs a license?? ...Now hold on a second while I shove this conductor into the earth; remember, grounding is for safety!

But, grounding is not always done safely!

Electrical licences under 22 ??/// What states??? Most states require 8000 hrs under a master just to test! com on guys. Working in the trade maybe Licensed I think not!

Well I am not an electrician, I am a low volt security guy. Started when I was 18, lead tech at 19, Sr Lead tech at 20, I turned 23 last week and I am the #2 tech in the company, sometimes #1 but I won't tell Oskar that....

Hey Mean gene, Are you the fella holding the ground rod or the one in the bucket.

What gets me is, you can tell by the bend of the knees and the motion blur of the hands of the guy in the bucket, he was coming down fast and hard with that sledge. Yet, the guy on the ground holding the rod has a smile on his face like it's all in a days work. Can he not comprehend that if the bucket man misses the rod he's going to have a broken skull or two broken arms?

I would worry, too, that bucket-man could slip with the sledge upon impact, lose his footing and tumble forward only to impale himself on the rod while knocking Smilie out cold with a blow to the noggin.
