Word! Early in my career, I have learned, a person who with a journeyman's card means that they supposedly met the time in service and passed a written test. This dont make them electricians.
I coach the engineers in my department to pass the ICC inspector's test and they do on their first try. The tests are simular. Time in service is just letter(s) stating they met the time in service from employers. Someone on this board made a post of, are you an Electrian or an installer. Very good philosiphy. A license does not make you an electrician. Your pears do by proving to them you are one.
