Doneshaker, WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS!! 
Vermont doesn't have a contractor license, all you new is your
Master and you start your own company. Fire Alarm work comes with it.

Kelly, you found out in Mass. the Master License doesn't allow you to do
the electrical work, just give you the right to operate a Electrical business, and you need the Journeyman to get your hands dirty in your
trade. Go figure?? Money/Money.
So spill the beans, how much does it cost to have both??
Wishing you success in your trade.
And don't take any crap from the local inspectors!

To me that was an advantage, less competition and more profit. Now we have guys from timbuctoo thinking its great to bid at 25 dollars man hour, I clean up a lot of their work, I just hate cleaning up and putting myself out for lawsuits.
I had 40-50 License as there are twenty cities around just around Houston, it was a pain and still is. With that said, we still have everyone and their brother bootlegging and I make less profit

Journeyman's license in Florida
I have a J-card in Florida, but it doesn't seem to hold allot of weight, since you don't have to have a licensed journeymen on every job. Thinking about going for my masters, but not sure where to start right now. I will take advice if I can get it. Thanks.

Get your master's; you'll get respect, a better wage (sometimes), and you can run jobs, pull permits, be a licensed pro instead of a fluncky. Evenif youstill have to work "for the man", your license is your escape ticket while the other guy next to you is in a dead end job.
