- What if......
-
- I couldn't pass the BAR because I didn't know anything about criminal law, should I be allowed to practice any law?
- I couldn't back up a tractor/trailer rig, should I be given an over the road truck driver's license?
- I couldn't name all the bones in the body, should I be allowed to practice medicine?
- I couldn't learn to receive Morse code, should I be allowed to get a ham license that would require the code?
-
-
- But I only wanted to......
-
- practice divorce law.
- drive forward.
- do brain surgery.
- talk on the radio.
-
- And I'm a real nice/knowledgeable/intelligent person and would be an
- asset to the legal/truck driving/medical/ham community.
-
- Everything in life has its requirements, we meet those requirements or don't participate.
