I CAN take a test and become a contractor myself?

There is a downside to this. There are people who can't take test for shite, but would be a great contractor..

I know a few guys.. Well, one specifically, who has been doing plumbing work since he was 14. His grandfather was a certified plumber and a contractor. He worked under his until his grandfather passed away. He can do the work with his eyes closed, but in order to keep doing plumbing work he had to become certified (since he couldn't work under his grandfather's license). He took the test a few times and wasn't able to pass the test.
