To obtain a license in most states the first prereq before any testing etc. has to be working the the FIELD with tools for a certain period of time. Correct? THanks.
I would think that would probably suffice as long as your doing electrical related work in the office, such as estimating

Are you after an Electrical Contracting license or a Master/Journeyman Electrician license? That would likely have an impact on what experience you would need to have.So if I wanted to try and get my license in 6,7 8ish years I would need field experience. Working for an electrical contractor in an office would not suffice? This is NY. Thanks
Guess I need to call NY state to confirm that.

There is no NYS statewide licensing. If you're looking at New York City licensing then you can look here. It does say:

I would want a journeyman/MAster license. Well I am really after just learning everything that is needed for the journeyman/Master license so I guess I can study over the next several years and not really worry about licensing because I won't be able to obtain it with NO field experience.
