So doctors, engineers, and officers in the military are stupid people?

I don’t think anyone is talking about people coming out of the formal education system as specialists of any kind.

I think we all understand that doctors, engineers and other technical specialties need post secondary education, even those of us who think that college in general is a waste of time and money for most people these days.

Many of them....yeah...many lack common sense. Ever work around engineers? Dumbest smart people in the world.

IF they swallowed the PC Pablum. . .yes.

Smart people still can do VERY stupid things.

Almost ALL of my “distribution” courses in undergrad were absolutely useless, and taught nothing of lasting value.

HALF of my Master’s program was review of stuff an entry-level IT type is expected to know. . . another quarter was utterly irrelevant to current tech (example: a course on “Distributed Databases” in 2007. The technology died on the vine in 2002, but since the Prof did his Ph.D. on it in the late 1990s, we HAD to take it whether we wanted to or not. . .)

I believe only lawyers and doctors need structured education. Everyone else can learn on their own as well as PhD folks, though they may not have access to the research tools needed to get there.

No, I think that righwingexremist1776 might be telling us that he doesn't have a degree.
