Great comparison. However, just for argument's sake, let's look at your infallible reasoning.
We require doctors and lawyers to go to school and get special licensing because we want to protect THE PEOPLE they contract with, NOT the lawyer or the doctor themselves.
Now, let's see if Jadeveon Clowney's situation is comparable.
Requiring Jadeveon Clowney to finish another year doesn't protect anybody health or legal concerns. In fact, requiring Clowney to finish another year doesn't protect anybody for any reason. You could make an argument that you would be protecting Clowney from himself, but that would be rather patronizing.
Now, back to the drawing board you go.

His skill is physical which can be taken away by "learning his craft."
You can't take away brains by studying at school.
You used to be able to sit for the Bar exam w/o going to law school. But law school is more about changing the way you think - than just being smart enough to answer questions on the exam - ergo the requirement now of graduating from an accredited law school.
But that's not market forces - they're actually trying to keep new lawyers out of the field and manage the numbers with limited jobs - the exam and school requirement - too many people in law school - too few jobs for lawyers.
There's no doubt the market says - most teams in the NFL would draft Clowney this year if they could.

That's a stupid fricking comparison and you know it.
You need a license for those jobs ... Not for the NFL
