Or it needs to be a profession.
Licensed professional engineers are expected to push back on requests that endanger the public and face legal liability if they don’t. Software has hit the point where failure is causing the economic damage of a bridge collapsing.

Sounds like the kind of oversight that tends to come with a union and the representation therein.

Software engineering is too wide and deep for licensing to be feasible without a degree program- which would be a massive slap in the face to the millions of skilled self taught devs.

Some states let some people get professional licensure through experience alone. It just ends up taking more than a decade of experience to meet the equivalent requirements of a four year degree.
