Someone squawked
As an engineer myself, I can verfiy that lots of engineers have told me
exactly that. Whether they would get a licence once code testing is
abolished might be another matter.

Nonsense and a big copout

Bull**** anonymous one. You can't be more wrong.

If you want a BS/MS/PHD Degree -- pass the tests

I passed the BS tests. But, academic degrees are NOT set by any
federal laws, cannot be changed outside of the academic community.

Want a driver license -- take a test

I took my first one in 1950 in Illinois. But, state laws are debateable AND
changeable by law.

Want a job - take a drug test and physical exam and perhaps a professional
test

Plenty of jobs out there, not all of them require "drug tests." The
physical
examination for insurance purposes, NOT for all jobs.

Want insurance -- take a physical exam

Not always needed. I've never had to get a physical exam for car
insurance...nor house insurance. :-)

Want to be an apprentice (JourneyPerson) -- take the test

Long before I got my degree I was a working electronics design
engineer. No "unions" in electronics engineering. :-)

Want to advance in the Military -- take the test

In my 4 years of active duty in the US Army, I went from E-1 to E-5 in
two and a half years WITHOUT ANY FORMAL TESTS.

Pass the Bar (Legal that is) Pass Da Test

I've passed many bars. A few I even walked into and got served.

Nurses CPR for sure and maybe ACLS Tests

Steamy, are you trolling again? Mess up your Anger Management
class again?

Sobriety Test -- Try to dodge this one

I've never been in Dodge. I once rode in a Dodge. I'm sober as a judge
and right now I judge you to be some kind of trolling putzim.

Want an HF Ham license -- take the code and Technical/Rules et al test
Otherwise we have CB and FRS. And one who listens on these bands ought to be
totally inspired to get a Ham Ticket !!!

Tsk, tsk, tsk, I was legally ON HF the first time in 1953 and didn't have to
get my first FCC radio license until 1956.

Simple as that.

You ARE "simple," simple one.

Anyone who used the code as an excuse for not becoming a ham, just wasn't
serious about it.

Awwww...got your feelings hurt by NCTAs? :-) :-)

If 10 to 17 year olds can do it, why can't an engineer or any other college
grad ???

One can brainwash pre-18 teeners a LOT easier than older folks. :-)

Did any of those "Engineers" get a No-Code Tech license ??
Didn't think so !!

I'm only on a "good friends" basis with three US radio amateurs. All of
them became licensed well before the "no-code" OR technician licenses
came into being.

Were you born in Newington or were you brainwashed as a child?
