Most satisfying faults to find and fix are the ones where you get called in as the 2nd or 3rd “electrician “So a whole new can of worms opens up
How do you define a "smart person" then how do you overcome the discrimination that will cause when some don't make the grade as a smart person
If you only learn the "basics" would that not make you a "basic domestic electrician" and what training progression will be needed to progress from the basic level
At what point does the industry educate the public on how to choose an electrician when "I'm an electrician" could cover widely differing levels of knowledge and experience. I've been to a few faults over the last few years where the customers had engaged a number of electricians to find faults and been challenged with what makes you think you will find the fault when all the previous ones haven't, all faults found and then I get why couldn't they find them then you have to tell them what state the industry is in
It's all to easy to dilute the pool and before you realise it you have a lot of "electricians" and a lot of problems they can't solve
often the opening conversation starts along the lines of, I doubt you can fix it because x others have tried and failed.
can be good fun to point out the fault, how you found it and what you did to fix it.
often you earn a customer for life and some A rated recommendations.
