Licensing doesn't mean squat, but the lack of it sure does! Anonymous "electricians" flying by night. And yes, anyplace that wouldn't jerk a license for something like this is only collecting fees.
An old boss of mine (recently deceased) was forced to work as an electrician's helper when he was a child in Germany in WWII (or unload boxcars at a concentration camp). He said the penalty for improper grounding was 7 yrs. in prison. Although very extreme, it sure made him a conscientous electrician for life. Plenty of "electricians" got fired their first day with his company.
