What is so poor about the analogy? People buy electrical and plumbing
supplies every day and do their own work with no license. Some of these
people are rather talented, others are dumb. Most people that have a
license are competent, a few others not so.

We are talking about people doing work for others, for profit. Not someone
doing work themselves.

BTW, cm was half correct on their statement about the $1,000.
