Become an engineer by playing with an erector set. A MD by riding in an EMS vehicle. There is a reason folks display their Diplomas on the wall.

"Become an engineer by playing with an erector set. A MD by riding in an EMS vehicle. There is a reason folks display their Diplomas on the wall."

Or air traffic controllers based solely on LACK of aptitude, thanks to Obama. And we're seeing the results now:

---

The FAA now uses a “biographical questionnaire” to screen applicants, which is apparently intended to increase the number of minorities who qualify for the jobs. What the questionaire scoring system rewards and penalizes is, as Carlson put it, “shocking.”

The questionnaire favors applicants who performed poorly in science class in high school and have not held a job for three years before applying to the FAA, Carlson said. (“Apparently, unemployed people make the best air traffic controllers,” he added. “This is demented, by the way, but it’s real.”)

By contrast, he said, the test does not award high points for actual pilots or those with air traffic control experience.

Would you want to hire an engineer to teach engineering with only a first degree in engineering because he got high grades? Would you want someone teaching in medical schools with only a first degree in medicine and no actual practice? Around the 1960s, American law schools added an additional year of studies and remarketed their bachelor of laws degree into what is now a "doctor of laws" degree. Since no dissertation is required, its not an academic doctorate. The law professors come from those with the highest grades, without requiring a master of laws degree in any specialty of law, and without practicing law. Want to know why our courts and judicial system is a mess? Look to the ABA and its monopoly.
