   The reason we have what you call sneer of as "gatekeeping" in trades where people can get hurt, is because competence saves lives.

   Do you also think passenger air transport has too much gatekeeping in who flies planes ?

   Brain surgery ?

   Running an oil refinery or nuclear reactor ?

   Every country has "gatekeeping" on who can drive a motor vehicle on public roads.

   And yes, the IT industry BADLY need more "gatekeeping".

   For people who are confused.

   Yes, ppl can be happy in all sorts of circumstances.

   But money, in our capitalist hellscape, means:

   * healthcare
   * housing
   * food
   * security
   * therapy
   * clothing
   * transportation

   Having money literally adds years to ppl's lives.

   Do you know what the biggest "trick" for "getting healthy" is?

   Money.

   Lack of the security that money offers causes stress, anxiety, depression. Money buys time. Money buys help.

   Money buys life.
