That's the problem. I've only lost one job because I wasn't certified. That one job I got some work after the fact correcting the certified techs wiring errors, not many but a few. I'm sure they paid at least 3 times what I would have charged to bring in techs from a couple hundred miles away. The over all job they did was OK, but I would have done a few things different, like using colored backboards for the voice. The patch panels weren't terrible, but not as neat as I like to see them.
Likes been said throughout this topic, being certified doesn't make you a good tech. Just gives you the tools to become one.
