Reply to comment by Liesthroughisteeth in [OC] License to work? States ranked by number of low-income jobs requiring licenses by tildenpark
The list that I posted is for low-income jobs. Your list is high-income jobs. Some of them make sense. Others are onerous. A license to become an upholsterer, travel guide, or auctioneer seems silly to me.

When a truck finishes pickup at dairy farms they perform tests to ensure there are no hormones (like BGH) or other drugs in the batch. If they do find something then they start testing the individual samples they collected from each farmer, and then the farmer responsible has to pay for the entire, tainted batch.

And they do this by tasting it?

Yes. And then they wait four weeks to see if the taster starts growing excessive body hair, or udders, or makes a lot of "moo" sounds.

The one that got me is you don’t have to be licensed to use a Crane?
Those things that you use to move several ton objects hundreds of feet in the air and can topple if you move the load too far without adjusting the counterweight? No licensing required in 35 states!?

There are reasons for each of those licenses. Each deal with specific nuances that a layperson can't just pick up on YouTube.
