That is what we all want, the government charging and regulating YET another aspect of the economy.
In my field people SCREAMED for licensure and regulation. It was all to the benefit of the corporations and now prices for services are high and payment is low. Stupid.
In the age of the internet no one needs government license.
“In the age of the internet no one needs government license.”
You don’t need one, if you are a programmer. But you do if you want to call yourself an engineer and offer engineering services to the public.
You have to argue that public safety and property are no longer important if you wish to argue that engineering licensure is unneeded.
