Legal Question in Technology Law in Florida

Re: Can an Associate's Degree in Computer be legally considered a license?

You may need a business license. That would not be a very good reason to sue. If you screw up something, that would be a much better reason.

Re: Can an Associate's Degree in Computer be legally considered a license?

Occupational licenses are granted by the city and county (although the counties now refer to them as a business tax) and won't necessarily protect you. Incorporation and a well written contract between your company and your customers will provide you with the most protection from suit. Certifications for Cisco, Microsoft, Google, Dell etc... are just a way to verify that you have been trained a certain way on certain equipment. It really affects employer's who are hiring more than the public who more often than not, have no idea what the certifications prove. Regardless, these certifications do not protect you unless they come with either an insurance policy or some kind of bond policy, neither of which are common in the computer industry.
