In the US one can get a cosmotologist/hairdresser license by being
sponsored by a shop owner, passing a simple test, and paying the fee.
It's more difficult to get a motor vehical operator's license. It's a
lot more difficult to obtain a barber's license... nowadays there are
very few licensed barbers. Unfortunately one doesn't need any kind of
documentation to prepare food commercially... most people who prepare
our food are illiterate... the business owners are educated and need
permits but the food workers don't need to be able to read and write
and most cannot. The typical cook's job is extremely repetative, it's
best that they are not educated.
