Since there are many people here who have undertaken an apprenticeship, and technical training in college, and passed their exams, can you explain in what way your experience has been "proper" (sic.) and theirs not?
...and have a responsible attitude.
Since there are many people here who work and act responsibly, can you explain in what way your attitude is better?
Perhaps thats why I earn 70k plus for a 37.5 hour week and have continual offers of work. I ensure that elec installations are done properly and big companies pay handsomely for that service
You appear to think that your income, or turnover, or profit, or whatever you call it, is impressive. I'm curious to know why someone who's "properly" trained would feel the need to parade their achievements on a web site that they despise. Clearly an insecure liar would do that, but since that's not you, what is
your reason?
...because they know that contractors promises and warranties are generally worthless.
That's clearly a generalisation, and is untrue of a great many contractors. I sense that you've had a bad experience with one contractor, or perhaps a few, but then most people have. And yet most people don't join a forum whose membership comprises a high percentage of contractors, and make self-aggrandised claims of superiority. So, what would you say is
your reason for doing this?
I am sure there are a lot of experienced people like me who read this forum and laugh or cry at some of the advice thats given. They rarely post because they know they will be abused by the majority of badly trained irresponsible regular posters.
Have
you been abused? Or are you just trying to make your expectation a self-fulfilling prophesy?
