With some jobs it is just plain obvious that you would need to have regular continuing education. Like if you were a surgeon whose job it is to literally cut into living people. You would want to know that your surgeon was taught how to use all of that fancy equipment that fills up a modern hospital! And while that is probably the most extreme example, many professions require ongoing education. Some of these are not as obvious as the surgeon example.
Just about anything that requires a license is going to require continuing education. Lawyers need to stay current with the laws, so they are required to go through ongoing education. Realtors are the same way too. Look at all the changes we have seen in the real estate industry lately. That would be a hard industry to keep up with. Even general contractors need to prove that they have obtained continuing education. Building codes and techniques are constantly changing, so contractors need to keep up.
And the list goes on and on. Airline pilots, computer techs, A/C repairmen, and even bartenders need to keep current. Did I say bartenders? That’s right! At least where I live bartenders need to go through an alcohol awareness class every couple of years!
