Did you need licensing / training to take on electrical work? Do you market yourself as an electrician or more just a handyman that does minor electric jobs?

[anonzzzies]

I got my license in my gap year before uni a long time ago; it's not valid here, but in my country I got trained with a lot higher standards than where I live now so I can do anything besides actually hooking stuff up to mains. I helped some people out and they told others. Like said; there is a massive shortage of handy people and as this is not my day job, I have to say no a lot.

Massive shortage in the US or are you somewhere else?

[neverartful]

In the US the laws vary considerably by state on what electrical (and plumbing) one is allowed to do without a license.

There are often exceptions for homeowners working on their own stuff. Nothing exempts anyone from any permitting requirements though.
