I think that we should all be required to have a license. It separates us from the trunk slammers and makes sure that LV guys understand,know and abide by the NEC...
And your mistaken theory is exactly how it gets passed. You just took the hook. A license doesn't upgrade a man's work. A guy who don't give a hoot about quality will cut corners with or without a license. You confirm it with your next statement.
Some of the messiest work I see on construction sites is romex HV wire.
By licensed electricians. We have all seen it.
You finally get to the truth at the end here...
The politicians will push laws to prove their value, protect their friends, and take funding from lobbyists (hint hint: the unions) and not give a care at all about us.
It is ultimately about control and generating new revenue for cities, for counties, for states... and yes, for unions.
