Agreed (with Reno), the trade is expanding, plus in today's litigious environment many (esp business organizations) need an approved/accredited electrician to sign off on a job or design, the handy-man wont crack it as the business wont take unnecessary risk to save a couple of hundred bucks. We are in a manufacturing environment of 270 people and we have two full time licensed electricians on the payroll, not to mention 3 PE (elec.) like myself - and we wont touch anything in the plant. BTW I am a complete desk jockey.
