Hi Friends, I have electrical contractor and inspectors license's in two states, with poor in coming business I am considering just not doing my CE because its getting expensive. Except NJ , the DCA pays for it and some credits are reciprocal toward my NJ contractor lic. Pa, I have to pay it all out of pocket and Im stayn here because I have a home with a low mortgage but theres no work and since the state has no state board for electricians the competition is incredible, the inspectors have no experience and work for peanuts and theres no third party companies makin any money because theres a ton of guys who were grandfathered, its really a mess. So I was thinking about keeping my NJ electrician and sub code official and gettin rid of my Pa. Also thinkin that taking work as a projects manager would be better than my small two man operation here because I hadda layoff my own son ! I dipped in my savings for em, he has a baby, what do you guys think? I may work out of town on PM assignments moving plants or whatever. I guess I also wanna know how you guys are doin? Ya workn or what? I had the job as nightime instructor for a college but at the last minute they cancelled the course for low enrollement. Im 44 with an all around background and specialize in industrial, highrise and logic controls. Any advice from my fellow power mongers?????
