People in The Villages are obsessed with the question "are you licensed & insured". They seem to think it makes them look sophisticated or particularly savvy.

It's absurd and ridiculous.

Any place you have 125,000+ seniors, there's a need for people who can do odd jobs around a home. If you're any good, you'll end up with no retirement time and be working more hours than before you retired.
