I’ve renovated many parts of my house myself. I hired out 1 time to a contractor and regretted doing so. Similar to your sentiment, I feel contractors don’t have the same care as I do. I’ve come to the realization that no one else will put in the same care as I would nor care about the small details as I would.

Also similar to you, I feel I could become a licensed electrician and start that as my fallback career.

If you ever decide to switch careers, please reach out! We're living in weird times and it's nice to know there's other folks out there exploring similar options.
