Our industry is regulated by the NEC. I understand with the provision of the local municipality accepting, amending and enforcing it.
I have spent years studying the NEC in an attempt to better understand it and be a better electrician. The invaluable information I have gained from this forum has assisted in doing just that. I thank you all. Being a part of this Forum, I know that I am just one of many thousands who have done the same thing. I am not complaining, I love studying the NEC, and I have always had all of the work I have ever wanted.
What I don’t understand is that in an industry that is so potentially dangerous, why is there such a lax attitude concerning General Contractors and unlicensed handymen doing electrical work without proper training? I understand with homeowners doing their own work that there is a sense that their home is their castle.
This bipolar aspect of our industry has just never made sense to me.
