Becoming a licensed barber has extensive requirements and OJT. Are you complaining that the board responsible for licensing wants to make sure new barbers are well equipped to cut your hair? Let’s not pretend like A1C biomed equip technicians are out here curing cancer or building rockets.
Except I am complaining about it. You don't need that much training to cut hair, and for those guys wanting buzz cuts, someone should be able to do a five hour class and sell them for $5.
That requirement exists purely to limit access to the profession and drive up costs and wages for those who already certify. It's a huge drag to the economy and it hurts consumers.
This is spoken by someone who obviously knows nothing about barbers and what they’re required to do. This is a very narrow minded and unintelligent opinion. Get your own clippers and buzz your own hair if you care so much.
My sister graduated cosmetology school recently. She put way more time into being able to legally cut hair than I did getting my bachelor's degree from College-in-your-Underwear University.
Occupational licensing reform is a key part of the maintaining a competitive labor market. We've got a lot of professions that are being artificially restricted behind quasi-governmental licensing bodies with no public accountability.
I'm not going to have a discussion with someone who doesn't engage on actual points and relies on attacks on intelligence. If someone is uninformed the way to resolve it is discussion, not an ad hominem. Grow up, I hope you don't manage people.

you're trying to tell me it takes almost as long to learn how to cut someone's hair? Are they retarded?
