While I agree there should be some kind of license - you don't want a random person become hair stylist for the day and then switch to something else - there probably should be some examinations of skills. The current racket is about making money and protecting incumbents from competition but it also wastes a lot of time in the process.
- cookie_monsta 2y ago> you don't want a random person become hair stylist for the day and then switch to something else Considering that the stakes are fairly low (compared to say, surgeon for a day) and that there are plenty of jobs that obviously do not require a license and we are happy to let the employer apply the skills test, where exactly would the line sit between needs license and doesn't?

The easier it is to switch in and out of careers, greater the likelihood that people will be well-matched to job opportunities. We will also have the least possible unemployment.
- ein0p 2y agoWhy not? Why must I ask government permission and pay a fee to do anything at all? Is this America or North Korea?
