sberry27,
No one here will tell you there aren't incompetent people out there with Licenses. There's good and bad everywhere. The unqualified, and/or unlicensed (and uninsured) people doing work for others is all bad news.
You didn't mention anything about yourself, so remarks can only be speculation, but many would consider it more than a bit arrogant for a DIYer to join a Forum full of ECs and make their first post in support of DIY & Handymen and complaining about ECs. Before you complain any further please think about that.
