"isn't there some kind of obligation to allow others in the prime of their lives/working years, to have a chance at working, and developing a professional persona?"
I'm underemployed because the required licenses are effectively not available to me. Should the State be "obligated" to honor my out-of-state licensure and experience? Perhaps the "tight-knit community" of local tradespersons should be "obligated" to step aside and allow more people to work?
By that same token, the County be "obligated" to allow people a chance to work -- if the current permit-license-zoning regime were relaxed, people would create jobs.
