But doesn't work that way in real life. Big surprise. It, like a
degree from college, says that the person has been exposed to a certain
number of class hours and has taken a certain number of tests, and (in
this case) has worked a certain number of hours on the job under the
supervision of a journeyman or someone similar. That is a LONG way from
guaranteeing competence. MIGHT suggest a certain minimum competance, but
that about all.

But in the real world, a single journeyman electrician has more common sense
than an entire class of Liberal Arts majors.
