You can't apply for the test without the minimum college credits. At least for the CPA and CMA (private industry equivalent). I'm 99% certain the bar is the same way. A lot of people getting their CPA are pushed to also get a law degree, since it isn't far off once you've studied tax, business, and regulatory law. Powerful combo.

Probably the same for licensed engineers. Not sure how doctors work tbh. Do they even take tests or just fling it? Most doctors I've ran into seem to be just flinging it 😂

It’s different for every state, but I had to have a 4-year degree from an accredited university, pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, work 4 years, the pass the Principles of Engineering exam. In my case, there’s an alternate where I only had to work 3 years because I have a MS in engineering as well.

Point to all this is that it’s the professional engineers who set the regulations through the state board. So pros regulate what it takes and the timeline needed to become pros.




Baseball’s path to becoming a pro is the best model, IMO. Gives the athlete choices, but very good boundaries as well.

It's all in the definitions. Voting ages vary throughout the world from 16 to 25. Some would say 21 is still a child and rental car companies would seem to agree.

Awesome. You keep looking for loopholes to defend that awesome "libertarianism" you're promoting. You've won me over.

So in your world, there would be no minimum ages for anything? Yes, you got me. You are a much better libertarian than me.

Like I said, we can be done now. As I inferred, you and I were done with your first response. Feel free to make whatever arguments you like in defense of a libertarian nanny state.

It’s collectively bargained by the players and owners. It does make sense and allows players to have options.

We’re talking about a game here if 18 years olds are allowed to be a pro there shouldn’t be stipulations for college players either…we can argue all day about how lawyers, doctors or engineers absolutely need to go through the process of getting credentialed in those professions which takes years, but you can’t compare that to a kids game here. Yes the MLB has every right to do what they want because it’s their organization, but we don’t have to agree with everything they do

It improves the college game and makes it very fun, so I don’t know why you would complain as a college fan. Kids can jump in high school, so they have that choice. But the point is that it’s not a unilateral decision by MLB. It’s collectively bargained with all involved, just as it is in basketball and football. Guys know exactly what they have to decide, and there is a long list of guys who made more money after going to college than they would have after high school. So, the coaching and development works. It’s not a kids’ game when it is all about running a business. Much more to it.

You still going on about this pages later?

OK. Thank you for your keen insights. If you're going to keep yammering about this until everyone agrees with you and praises you for your former baseball career, it'll get tedious for all of us.

Lol I didn’t ask for anyone to “praise” me. Having a thoughtful discussion about why you wouldn’t pull him, then okay. Lol. That was done. But whatever floats your boat my guy.

This in a nutshell. I think it’s great for all involved.
