Pat,
Stay with it , don't give up now, the younger generation of EC's are business smart and they are doing a fine job at making their business run at a profit.
Yes, there are a lot of EC's out there that are always looking in the rear view mirror, when it comes to operating a business, they are more concerned with what the other guy might be charging, when what they need is to find their own real operating expenses. They are good electricians, but need some help on the business end.
