Business owner != electrician.

My wife is a doctor of physical therapy who owns her own business. Most of her job is marketing and paperwork.

If you want to throw the title Business Owner in front of a career title, I'd still suggest Electrical Engineer business owner over Electrician business owner.

When I say "electrician that owns their own business", I generally just mean an independent contractor that has structured their personal finances as an actual business.

I wasn't really talking about someone who employs lots of other electricians.
