Unions often create barriers to new people entering a field and driving wages down. This is an issue for many devs, like me, because I don't have a degree, I'm self taught and freelance- I'm worried I'd be forced out of the field or into more formal employment by licensing or other requirements. Neither of which I want.

    Yeah every time I've ever looked into it there's always someone talking about "protecting the field from amateurs". And usually that means protecting the field from people who don't have a degree.

    I actually do have a degree but it's in forensics. I just let them fill the blank in for themselves and let them think it's digital forensics.

    Which I really don't get, because to my knowledge no disproportionate amount of problems has been caused by self-taught devs.

    It really feels more like either elitism or wanting to protect wages.
