Just so you know, based on this little story of yours, I would instantly want to hire you. Great attitude.

  And in my jurisdiction, after I took a two year training school on my nickel, then work 7500 hours as an apprentice at slightly over minimum wage, then did the extra stuff to be a contractor… you'd be able to. The requirements seem extreme, though I did break a fan blade in my indoor air handler while checking its temperature, total noob mistake. If I were hiring a trusted contractor I'd want someone better than me! Ideally there might be room for a grade of lightly trained technician which can handle the easy stuff and do some of the time consuming diagnostics then just throw in the towel and say "You need a better man than I."

    > If I were hiring a trusted contractor I'd want someone better than me! I hire a contractor because they have the parts needed on the truck, or know where to get them fast. I also hire them for their insurance in case they screw up - I've hired someone saw them screw up and not paid for their mistake.

    I think GP might have meant hire you to do just about anything else, not necessarily fix an AC. I agree with them if that’s what they meant :)
