Some states do not allow this so you have to check with your state. But in states that do, you are held to the standards of the higher license for purposes of accountability. For getting the job done you are limited to the job description of the position you hold. Many employers will not do this type of employment arrangement because they don't want any legal liabilities and grey areas.
