That's not possible because of regulation. For occupations that don't relate to other people's life or death situations, or security in general, it's reasonable

That's not possible because of regulation. For occupations that don't relate to other people's life or death situations, or security in general, it's reasonable to assume if someone has a skill, they should be able to use it professionally regardless of how they achieved it.
- hnarn 4y ago> if someone has a skill, they should be able to use it professionally Sure, but why would you hire an unlicensed electrician, or surgeon, or car mechanic, or builder, or elevator mechanic, or really anything that matters? The only areas where this point becomes moot are in areas where certifications already are not an issue, i.e. in jobs that almost anyone can do.
- workingon 4y agoBecause they are cheaper? I’ve hired unlicensed people to fell trees in my yard that weren’t really going to fall on the house etc. Also, I’m fairly certain car mechanics are not licensed where I live. Sometimes licenses are just frivolous, especially in modern day society.
- ben_w 4y agoI wonder if those unlicensed people had liability insurance, and, if so, if the insurance companies charged more due to their lack of license?
- logicchains 4y ago>Sure, but why would you hire an unlicensed electrician, or surgeon, or car mechanic, or builder, or elevator mechanic, or really anything that matters? You don't need a licensing system, you just need a reputation system. Like how bonds have a rating system; nobody's stopping you buying a junk bond, but the system makes it clear to you that it's a got a high probability of default.
