Continuing education is essential
 

As a service electrician I am consistently exposed to dangerous old work from the days before continuing education requirements. Removing the requirement only puts me further at risk for electrical shock, fire, or electrocution. The only thing that repealing the requirement will accomplish is enabling low-road contractors to churn out dangerous work so they can make a quick buck. If anything the requirements should be strengthened.
