work together .....i'm the 'expert' eh?

all fine and well.....

i'll tell you what, in my office there are stacks of EC&M, Electrical Contractor, IAEI , Power Q , CEE rags.

show me where there is any electrical orginization publicly advocating a benchmark such as <gasp> licensure.

don't you find it odd that the beuarcracy(s) that make a living writing standards cannot extend this one morsel of acknowledgement as a standard for the trade?
