The School of Life
For Immediate Release:
Dateline: East Greenwich, RI
We’re slowly moving toward selection based on ability and competence and not degrees or credentials. I’m not suggesting that a doctor doesn’t need a medical degree or a lawyer doesn’t need to pass the bar exam. I am suggesting that competence-based evaluations will be more common. Is someone with an English or history degree better equipped than someone without any degree to manage sales people or a call center? Universities should be teaching people how to learn, and they are clearly failing. (Hence, ChatGPT as a savior.)
And maybe this will stop the ridiculous profusion of initials, growing like a fungus, that people place after their names, as if joining an association or passing a test imbues them with mystical competencies. (I also love the people so insecure they have to put MA or MS after their names.)
