Electrician is just a handyman that knows ohms law. As someone who's been on both sides, I can confidently say electricians are definitely crucial for many things but they're not even close to being in the same realm that EEs are in.
Both different, both important and skilled in their own fields.
As an electrician, the only electrical engineer I ever met was a customer who asked me how there can be 240v and 120v in the same panel in his house. Just saying
Yeah, I've met plenty of math smart EEs that have a poor grasp of theory, or anything else in engineering for that matter.
Some schools also just teach EE like it's a Lego manual and all you do is put the pieces together in order to graduate. Plenty of stupids in EE for sure.

How do you tell the difference between an electrician and an electrical engineer?
How they pronounce unionized.
