I had an air conditioning problem in a TV station's control room. It
had given them fits for the two years they had been in their new
building. The contractor was there about once a month with another lame
idea when I was hired. They finally brought some 'experts' from the A/C
manufacturer and still couldn't understand why the 10 ton AC system
barely kicked on, but the equipment was overheating and failing. The air
temperature was 55 degrees inside the tiny equipment room, but the
idiots had all the vents at the ceiling, above the racks. They had never
heard of stratification. When I told them the cold air supply had to be
at the floor level I was called an idiot, and worse. I mentioned
computer rooms with all the A/C supplied under the raised floor and was
told, No one wastes their time doing that crap anymore! I told them to
prove me wrong, so they finally dropped a piece of flex from air supply
the ceiling, between the cabling and to about 6" above the floor.
Within five minutes, the equipment was cold to the touch.


IOW, not all 'professionals', are. It is the same in any profession.

That piece of paper that says AAS, BS, BA, MA, MS, PHD, JD is just a statement that
someone met minimum standards from a school with varying standards compared to other
schools and leaves out mention that daddy or mommy is an alumni that has a big check book.

As far as trades, two things must be gathered. Documented time in the profession and
passing a state license examination. Sounds like your state has an easy test.
