To be clear....they aren't giving journeyman electrician licenses away. It's a pretty tough, time consuming process. Definitely a huge commitment. Much harder than anything I ever had to do in college. 8000 hours/4 years working as an apprentice and 600 hours of school just to be able to take the journeyman test. Then, after I had my journeyman for a couple years I did another 150 hours of school and took my Masters test.
