Does this tread on open "secrets," inside knowledge, or hoped-for info? Just asking, I'm guessing you know something I don't and I'd like to be in on it. OTOH, I'm pretty sure I agree with you on the merit and worth of licenses for hairdressers. It seems that the silly season besets us from the right and from the left. The M&W of government licenses for IT Pros has been debated and thoroughly discredited, elsewhere. Much like other things that have been thoroughly discredited but keep coming back again and again, until they pass when someone drops the hot potato. Follow the money, is the adage of yore. Who benefits immediately, from licensing IT Pros? Easy answer. Who sponsors them or their cause, if anyone? Or are we to believe that a few (dozen?) independent agencies are truly the source of this concerted, prolonged push?
