See there's that word again "electrician". An electrician is a
skilled trade with an apprenticeship. A handyman could be anybody
with a screwdriver!
I'm not trying to piss off anyone here, but really only "card-carrying
union-member" electricians do apprenticeships. Purdue (for example)
hires non-unionized electricians, who haven't necessarily been through
any apprenticeship program (though some of them work just as
effectively as Chicago card-carrying union electricians... ;).
