Well, I too hope that each piece of paper represents more than
"...*only* provid[ing] the opportunity to develop those skills while
acting inside the law" (emphasis mine)
Otherwise, this is a confirmation (and indictment) of the deterioration
in educational and qualification systems over the last 40 years.

Lumpy bids:
I'll trade you a Film Projectionists and a
Powder Actuated Tool Operator's license

I could throw in Fork Lift Operator,
ph Test Kit Operator, I have others.

Surely you were required to demonstrate that you could drive to obtain
a driver's license? I agree that a ham license does not necessarily
demonstrate
that you can use a radio, but I had hoped that it would in practice.

APRS, Emergency Communications and Satellite Communication from remote
locations. How about mobile email ? These are all thing s being done by a
small group of hams.
There are a lot of good uses for packet other than for sale ads and
conversations about computers. The problem is, few hams are doing them.
