Who cares? I am all for it. If its such a pain, just buck up and get a construction supervisors license, and you can do it all. The lengths the hacks in this state will go to just to avoid passing a stupid open book test. Thats all its about. Why else would someone not just get their supervisors license?

But if you have a supervisors license, you dont need the specialty licenses. The point of the specialized licenses, are because they are catering to the hacks that cry and moan cause they dont want to take an open book test to get their CSL.

I'm with you Patrick. I don't care how many specialty liscences the state requires, in fact I'm all for it. Just take the CSL exam and be done with it. Open book, and not nearly as difficult as I was prepared for. Its more a test on reading skills and how to use an index than anything else. The test would be much more telling if they increased the time limit and asked more comprehensive questions. I guess I expected a little more for my $100, maybe I just got an easy batch.
