Think harder! A lot of these people are retired
professionals just looking to pick up some cash
from time to time, some even just want to help
neighbors and older people. Others may have a
regular job but do their old profession to pick up
a little cash from time to time.

Then there are a few that don't know what they are
doing.

Having a license is no indication that the work
will be good, and having no license is no
indication that the work will be lousy.

I, as a consumer, would not hire someone that would circumvent local
rules, by not having a license in an area requiring a license.

That is my personal option, and having to had 'clean-up' work done by
unlicensed electricians, I feel my option is strongly fact based.

But then I have an adversion to house fire. :D

I as a consumer look for a good deal.........

Being licensed is no guarantee of quality, license cancelled they just
start over.

word of mouth is often the best indicator....

but I DONT have extra bucks to throw away:(
