How many of those industries does certification actually work in? Does it prevent dodgy lawyers and accountants?

  Certification does work in some industries. When a lawyer is admitted to the bar, that is generally taken as proof that they have some idea of what they are doing. Bar exams are hard. And the bar also provides a forum for dealing with shady lawyers. If a lawyer treats you badly, you can file a complaint with their bar association and they might get disbarred. This is an area where cyber training and certs is not as good yet, I think: as a forum for resolving disputes.

    TV may be leading me astray, but isn't disbarment usually for ethical reasons, not general incompetence?
