As David Friedman has written, the likely outcome of licensing professions is lower quality and higher prices. To paraphrase Friedman: Regulate manicurists, and we'll presumably have longer nails. Regulate pre-school teachers, and we'll presumably have more ignorant children.

What he is saying is true. For example you can take a CNA course and make about the same as a person working at a convince store. the CNC works harder, underpaid,underemployed, under a lot of stress and pay money to take this course but must provide a license to work. If they get hurt on the job or well, there is a line waiting for the job. what whey don;t tell you will taking the course is that you get no help, have around 20 patients and it's nothing like they went to school for. Some of the hardest working folks are paid the least buy still require a license to work.
