While that may be true, the work place doesn’t want to spend the time and money separating those who can be educated sheep from those who can’t be educated goats.
I think the workplace is actually contributing: their X+ years of experience in the field
(usually 2, sometimes as much as 5) for entry-level jobs is rather sickening. It indicates that they want people who are cookie-cutter made
for that position and unwilling to train them in any case.
The solution to that would be to throw the worker the necessary educational materials and only qualify those can pass tests.
For the sake of a few hundred dollars worth of texts, we are spending tens of thousands of dollars per year, per student.
