I don’t think you need a government license to be a journalist or a minister. I’m sure you don’t to be a Salvation Army officer.
Are we talking about their admirals? Or their ensigns?
Neither - it’s a weird/annoying religious ‘army’ that knocks on your door waaaay too early on Sunday morning to harras you. The UKs Mormons in other words.
I know, I was making a joke because Squid and the list said “officer”.
We have the Salvation Army in the US but afaik they don’t do door knocking. They are mostly a thrift store and they ring a bell for money outside Walmart every Christmas. They collect it for charity but will gladly deny charity to any marginalized group like LGBT.
becoming an officer in the salvation army requires signing documentation. Likewise ministers need to be ordained.
So maybe expand the definition of regulation to include public institutions which have defined rules or codes of conducts. Leaving out the clanging irony of the multitude of crimes committed through organised religion.
Journalists is a weird one. I think back in the day it would have been that they trade on their public reputation. Less so now when I can start up a blog on college sports and call myself an investigative journalist.
And paid photographer?
I honestly don’t know. Maybe a carry over from print journalism?
