I would rather see you explain why electricians would never change their field of work.

Residential Wiremen are not qualified to be Inside Wiremen

edit: I'm done with this. It's obvious that the people arguing with me have no idea what construction work is like.

And residential Wiremen are unable to get the qualification to be inside Wiremen? Are there no inside Wiremen who worked at residential ones before? Are you serious?

The fact that they don't even know what the job title is, says to me their opinion isn't worth considering.
