Just wanting to cure cancer doesn't mean it would be accomplished - vote or not.

I could build a house. With zero experience you can find a job in house building as they will pay you to learn on the job (depending on the economy you might or might not be able to find such a job today, in good years they will hire anyone who isn't disabled - but there are bad years). Many people who have never had a construction job build their own house (only a tiny %, but that is still a lot of people)

I suppose I could work on a cancer cure. However since I don't have a background in biology I would have to pay for several years of school to learn the required skills. Those classes are hard and there is no guarantee I will pass (I have an engineering degree, so my odds of passing should be above average).

Not sure how easy it is to create a connection to the main power grid without the required credentials.

		Too late to edit, but I remembered overnight. The rule everyplace where I've been is the meter box and all the wires coming out of the box are owned by the customer. The meter and all the wires leading into the meter are the utilities. Creating the connection is easy in the best case: you hook up the wires from the meter box to what ever on your end, then call the utility to do their end. That is the best case. Every place I've ever lived requires an inspection in between. A few places the law won't allow me to do any of this work because I don't have credentials (even though I've done it all in other places and passed inspection - I'm not even allowed to try)

		Depends. In rural areas the only part you can't do the power company will in five minutes. In other places only a licensed electrician is allowed to touch wires and do you can do much less
