   Ok, I'll bite.  What's the problem?  Licensing merely mandates a minimum
   level of competency.  Many other professions have licensing procedures
   for exactly that reason.  Would you prefer to be treated by a doctor who
   did not have a license to practice medicine?

There is bound to be a fee associated with getting this license, and
believe that the government is already getting much more than enough.
I don't believe that government has any business mucking around with
the software business.  Why don't we have a license for politians?
Would you like to be lead by someone who doesn't have a license to
practice government?  The licensing could include score results from
the SAT and/or GRE.

This may make it difficult for high school students and/or college
students to get jobs as programmers like I did when I lived in New
Jersey.
