Come on doc. That education stuff is all tax deductable and you know it. The same guy that worked on BMW's in 1957 may need some additional training in order to work on my X5. And so from year to year his lic. needs to be upgraded as well. Otherwise you would have every shade tree mechanic/doctor working without any legitimate oversight. Not good IMHO. OBTW. No training, no lic.

January of this year in order to do Electrical work in California a person must have a license. Sure there's some govt stuff behind the scenes but how would you like some jack of all trades wireing your house. I've seen their work, you do not want to go there.

I think continuing ed is a good idea but like a number of good ideas its overdone.

Why do you think its overdone?

In NY State to many hours and the courses don't really have content.

A Real Estate Appraiser has to take the same ethics/standards course every two year. I don't really think you can teach ethics.

So you think the courses should be fewer hours but more content? You lost me in the whirling contradictions.

The courses are the same ones every two years, nothing new same content. Is that clear enough for you?

Interesting comment coming from you. I don't think some people can learn ethics. The content is there. Perhaps the personal application of the curriculum may be what's missing.

I think continuing education is extremely important. Especially when an individual is in a profession that is continually changing. Realtors here in AZ must attend continuing ed. courses every year in order to keep their credentials.
