We should have standards, but the point of entry into an industry shouldn't require dedicating years of your life to with little to no option to switch or transition to something else. This is exactly why we have so many people who find themselves in unfulfilling careers and unable to change so easily and why unemployment is so high and incomes stay stagnant.

You can absolutely change careers. I changed careers multiple times and I know many others who have done the same. Not everything is easy and it wasn't easy for boomers either. In fact, the farther back in time you go, the harder life was in general.

Your point about over regulation is valid though.

I'd rather the business started by someone who can actually run the business. Not some fresh off the street who thinks he knows how to use a shovel.

Heck, imagine what an electrical company that doesn't have a master overseeing the business could do if they didn't have heavy regulations.
