> regulate that to write software one needs to have a masters degree in CS

It's already hard enough to hire software engineers, how hard would it be after further restricting to only software engineers with a relevant masters? I know I'd be entirely forced out of the field, and would have to undertake a 4 year course (abroad, because here it would be 6 years) to be eligible for employment again, if that happened in my country.

You wish the masters would teach you anything about these new regulations. Universities lag 10 years or more behind the research edge in teaching, if not more...

Well as someone that has had the "joy" of implementing a lot of the ones that exist in the US: SOC*, HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI-DSS, a handful of DoD ones. I think if they seriously taught them in schools it would cause a lot change of majors when students realize what an absolute clown car of regulation they are getting themselves into. Its also probably the most boring subject availible.
