Should government – primarily state and local government – be able to prevent someone from actually working in a field or profession after they have spent tens of thousands of dollars and perhaps many years on an education from an accredited college or university? Unfortunately, too many states and localities believe the answer to that question is “yes.” Their attitude is that unless government gives its seal of approval – and always for a fee, of course – then somehow trained, qualified and educated men and women are not fit to practice their craft. It’s time to dispel this myth.
