a Master Electrician is the person who has the educational and practical experience to perform electrical work according to NEC "National Electric Code". although others like a journeyman can perform those duties, the master electrician hold more education and able to certify electrical work.where and electrical contractor is a company which is licenced to obtain and perform electrical contracts. whoever, and electrical contractor can't perform have their licence without a master electrician being on board. in other words, an electrical contractor must maintain a valid master electrician and it own contracting licensesome states allow a person to be a contractor using his own SSN, in this case a master electrician could be also the contractor.

That depends entirely on the electrician and his hourly rates as well as what he charges just to show up. A light switch replacement is typically considered to be minor work, and many states allow such work to be performed under the local "handyman" regulations. A handyman may cost quite a bit less than an electrician for such a job, and his work can be just as competent as an electrician.
it can be used but i would not recommend it. I would recommend going out to lowes or home depot and getting electrical tape. It is better for electrical projects and it can cost less than duct tape.Electrical Tape provides stretching and waterproofing qualities, electrical tape is non-conductive and is used to cover and insulate electrical splices and for other electrical uses.Duct Tape should be used for its original purpose only - temporary, emergency repairs.Please do not take chances especially when dealing with electricity. Duct tape is not designed for electrical work. Stay safe and use the appropriate tools and materials for the job. In addition, if you are doing this yourself and the job is electrical home wiring (outlets, etc.), I would recommend you do not. In most states this requires a licensed electrician. Please to not put yourself and/or family in jeopardy, its just not worth it.
It is what the electrical code book in the United States is called. In questions and answers it is usually shortened to the letters NEC.
a journeyman electrician is not fully qualified in most states to operate and mantain a electrical business and preform inspections without reaching the level of masters.

Not in most states, however it is highly recommended. If he absconds with the family jewels and is not bonded your out of luck.

An electrician is a skilled craftsman who has received specialized training in the installation and repair of electrical wiring in houses, buildings, ships, airplanes, mobile platforms, and equipment. Electricians are employed in the construction industry, manufacturing industries, and the servicing of existing structures and equipment. The training to become an electrician starts with an apprenticeship under the general supervision of a Master Electrician and the direct supervision of a Journeyman Electrician. The length of the apprenticeship varies depending on the state requirements, but typically the apprenticeship lasts from 3 to 7 years. It is common for the apprentice to recieve a salary while participating in the electrician apprenticeship program. In addition to working under the supervision of a trained electrician, the apprentice must also study electrical theory and electrical building codes. After completing a proscribed length of apprenticeship and, in most states, passing a written exam on electrical theory and design, the apprentice will be certified as a Journeyman Electrician. The Journeyman Electrician is allowed to work unsupervised in most types of electrical work except for the design of electrical systems. Different states have different requirements to graduate from Journeyman to Master Electrician status. Most states require an exam involving a demonstration of knowledge of electrical system design, in addition to a requirement of a length of tenure as a Journeyman Electrician. All professional electricians are required to possess a license through either a governmental entity or a professional society. Electrical work is extremely hazardous, not only for the individual working on the electrical system but also potentially for the inhabitants of a building or the operator of the machine that is being repaired. Inherent in all the training for an electrician is a large amount of time spent on safety procedures that are required in order to meet building codes and governmental regulations. State governments have instituted stiff penalties for individuals who present themselves as electricians but do not have the the required licensing. In addition to these penalties, a person who performs electrical work but is not licensed may be held criminally responsible for any injuries or deaths caused by their work.

Depending on your state, but first you must have a licensed maser electrician on board. If you are or going to hire one, then in some states like Virginia, you can establish your electrical business in few days. Although in many states does not take more than couple weeks. So in other words the tough part is getting the master electrician license. In Virginia, for example you must be journeyman for at least one year before you are allowed to set for the master electrician exam. Now formal education is required within this year, only work experience. I believe this is the case in many states. Becoming, a journeyman is another story. In Virginia for example, the state may let you set for the journeyman electrician exam with no formal education if you can prove ten years of practical experience being an electrician. If not then the requirement are different based on how much experience you have in the field. If none exist, then four years of formal education is required along work experience. Again it is state based process and you need to contact your states licensing department and ask them to provide you with requirements in that state. Don't waste your time trying to self educate yourself about state requirements from the net. Trouble is that states are becoming more strict by the year and you may find yourself either wasting time on unneeded steps or worse doing nothing to get you what you need.

The education requirements for an electrician vary depending on the jurisdiction and type of work. Generally, an electrician will need a high school diploma or equivalent, followed by completion of an apprenticeship program or vocational training in electrical work. Some states or areas may also require electricians to pass an exam or obtain a license.
