The trick to the trade is get into some part of it that scares most electricians. Learn it, know it and be at the top of the heap..you can write your own ticket.
And I'm not talking about putting a 4 way switch in either. |

The reason I posted this is some guy from Maryland a licensed electrician was shot by plainclothes cops when he allegedly pulled a gun Link Quote HistoryQuoted:

A friend who refused to identify himself said he doubts the cops’ story that Tillman was carrying the gun and instead suspects that the police shot him in the back as he was running away. “He was trying to run away, and he had his back turned,” insisted the pal, who didn’t witness the shooting. “He didn’t have no gun on him. What he did was run.” |

No such thing as a "master" electrician in MO. Ks is one of those states. When I lived in texas it was 10 or 12000 hours to get one. I'm a wannabe.
I know a lot of electrical and could pass the test in a state that has one. Ironically, I have a plumbers license and a hvac/r license in texas and I don't know shit about either one of those but I worked under a license holder where I haven't as an electrician. We do heavy ag work so no code inspections, nothing. I can go install a 4000 amp mcc or a 500 horse motor, no biggie. Some of my jobs have a lot of electrical, we might run 40,000 or 60,000 feet of underground conduit. No license. I've always wanted an electrical license. I had a guy that that was going to let me qualify under his in texas but he had a sudden stroke and died. |

They call it a masters test in some of the local townships, so I guess that makes me a master electrician. However, PA has no "official" master licensing.

I took my City of Dallas Masters Test in 94 and passed and took the SBCCI in 96 and passed and was grandfathered in when they went to a license. I still maintain it even though I do not work in the trade anymore. So count me in being a Master.

I'd like to become an electrician, but at the moment I cannot find an electrician apprentice job that will let me keep my pickup and pay off debt. So I'll continue being a truck driver in the oilfield until then.
Hopefully when I get it paid off at 36 I wont be too old to be an apprentice. |

No such thing as a "master" electrician in MO. Most local municipalities require that a contractor have a license. Which simply means one person at a shop holds the license. There is no state wide standard and the requirements vary GREATLY among the hundreds of jurisdictions.

In some of those jurisdictions, you don't even need to have electrical experience to take the test. if you want to call that being a "master", okay but that is laughable at best. I have over twenty years in commercial and industrial. High voltage, low voltage, fiber etc. I have worked power houses, car plants, aero space, pharmaceutical, healthcare and have hade a workforce of thirty plus electricians working under me. I have no need or desire to take a code test for the purpose of being able to pull a permit and have even less desire to become an electrical contractor. Holding a license wouldn't pay me a dime more or be beneficial for me UNLESS I wanted to open a shop. |

Took my first masters test around 82 when I got out of college, finally took the SBCCI test the same time my brother did and passed it. Then grandfathered in when the state took over the licensing. Mostly do bids and estimates, ordering material, pulling permits, financial and tax matters. Basically,not in the field much but end up there when there are emergencies or a shortage of employees. We are not a big contractor but we do a variety of work.
Employees are the headache of the trade, they can be your strength and weakness, and there are not many that want to really learn the trade. Been working in the trade since 74. Seen a variety of work, grunting for linemen in the oilfield constructing and repairing overhead primary, wiring houses in the early days. Water plants, sewer plants,grain driers, cotton seed plants, aggregate plants, concrete plants, cotton gins, lift stations, parking lot lighting, commercial construction, school work, municipal buildings, lot of oil field work and even a little hospital work. |
