Can I perform my own electric repair/installation

Wiring is no hobby. You can research the internet and find countless stories of people electrocuted. There is more to it then running a wire from point “A” to “B”. Watching a YouTube video to wire something is not a good idea. Each device has a specific power requirement and each circuit has a purpose. What is the circuit used for? Does it need to be in conduit? What type of conduit is needed? What size wire is needed? What type of wire is needed? How do I know what size wire to use? How do I know what type of wire is needed? What size Conduit? Do I need a disconnect? What size circuit breaker is needed? is GFCI or AFCI protection required? Is the circuit in a hazardous location? Do I need a permit?
