This is very true. I find that as an employer I'm always saying give
me a farm boy. Now here in Washington State they want to license all
the trades. Employees seem to always say I haven't been trained in
that. Maybe I'm old but when I came up it was cool I want to learn
that.


Licensing all the trades is a great way for the trades to protect their
business and assure a limited supply of licensed tradespeople. Just like
all protectionism, the benefits only last for a short time.

I don't know if you've hit upon a solution that will work in/be accepted by
this culture, but you've certainly defined the problem.

Fascinating and well done. Thanks!
