I want to get training as an electrician so I can take my house completely off the grid (or at least, be independent with the grid as a redundancy) one day without accidentally burning it down. Then I want to make free software to monitor and manage home power usage, and share it with the world so we can all have nice, efficient, futuristic homes without some corporate combine demanding a monthly fee and invasive surveillance for the pleasure.

Depending on where you live, home owners can often legally do as much of their own wiring as they want. If that’s the case where you live then you don’t need the license, you just need the knowledge. That’s still a big hurdle but it’s a smaller hurdle than 4 years as an apprentice and then another 4 years as a journeyman.
