“Being considered technically trained does not equal being a reliable or useful worker. Our colleges are giving a lot of degrees to completely useless people.”
No kidding. I have worked with people with Comp Sci degrees who know almost nothing about solving software problems. My degree is in Computer Programming so it’s a bit easier for me, but I sometimes wonder what some of these colleges are teaching because it isn’t technical competence.
I have a nephew who walked away from med school because 80% of their time was spent on social engineering. He says he fails to see what Israeli/Palestinian relations and gay rights have to do with medicine.
He drives a UPS truck now and says he’s never been happier.
