I'm sure this is not the case. I know it isn't in my county (Coos). To be an electrician here requires a 5 year apprentiship and classes at night. Then you have to take the exam and pass to be a journeyman. For journeymen coming in from out of state there are some variences, but you still have to now Oregon's electrical code.
The good part about Oregon's program however is that you can be working as an apprentice starting at 1/2 journeyman's wages while you are in school. Not too many other careers pay you to do your schooling!

NO!
Would you want someone working on your job, house, building who had NO hands on experience!
If that were the case, electrical engineers would get better paying jobs right out of college.
