So, here's the thing... I'm not talking about some guy who just finished a quick trade certificate; I'm actually an electrical engineer by degree. Because of that, there's basically zero chance I can just open my own contracting firm without hiring a licensed electrician to cover me. Plus, I'm wondering if it's even possible to "downskill" and get a specific trade license since my current degree is technically at a higher level?
