Nebraska licensing is not in these figures.

Many occupations, including most of health care, teaching, law, accountancy and the skilled trades, require a state licence, certification or registration before you can work. Nebraska sets its own, and none of it is part of the federal dataset above, so CampusPin cannot tell you whether this occupation is licensed here. Check the Nebraska licensing board before committing to a route, because where an occupation is licensed that requirement, not the typical credential, is the real gate.
