Those licenses are not to protect the Doctors/Lawyers, they are to protect their clients.
Having such a system for programmers would make no since and would make the situation much worse. A college degree means a lot but you can be a very good/success programmer without one.
I would NEVER go to a doctor/lawyer who did not have the correct credentials to practice. As such you "practice" medicine and you "practice" law. Do you practice programming(in the same sense?), no you don't.
