More DEI crap??
To: ChicagoConservative27
Unless you are in a job that requires competence from the start, like surgeon or rocket scientists, most jobs can be learned in the same length of time that it took to get the degree to get that job.
It’s my understanding that degrees and diplomas became required, because it was ruled discriminatory to use IQ tests.

I think it’s good news. Employers are beginning to realize that colleges are indoctrination centers and a degree doesn’t indicate any level of competence when it comes to the work force.

We had a new EE a few years back get hired who couldn’t use basic test equipment like multimeters and Oscopes. I’m sure the educational standards in non stem areas, like accounting and such, are just as abysmal. Companies can be better off just hiring bright people and training them rather than college students who end up being pains in the butt because of the social brainwashing

Education is important. What’s becoming painfully obvious is that school is not.

My son graduated as an EE and in school it became evident to me that he was going to have the same issues you described. I encouraged him to take basic soldering courses and other basic technical training he was skeptical but followed thru. It ended up augmenting his EE degree and paid off for him.

EE education has been moving toward an all-software approach for some time now so that doesn’t surprise me. Universities\colleges save some money by not having to do\pay for maintenance on the lab equipment. You never have to recalibrate or have software go obsolete.

Most new EEs start out in the shop not the desk slots. And if you can’t use those instruments you are missing the most important basic knowledge in electricity.

Yes, it’s easier and cheaper and your students miss getting the important basics.

Didn’t their classes have labs?!?
To: Yossarian
Apparently not. I guess the schools think that new EEs are going to start out at the top. No need to actually learn how systems work.

My mother was a newspaper reporter for over twenty years starting before WWI. She said she liked to go down and talk to the printers, some with no formal education. She said by-and-large she found them “better read” than her fellow reporters. Autodidacts are often better educated than those with formal education.
To: Hiddigeigei
As it happens Mark Twain was a printer with no formal education.

I was very fortunate that I worked for a large insurance company who was more interested in results then degrees. They brought in a new CIO who wouldn’t promote me because I didn’t have a degree. He did me a favor as the people who were “project managers” were given dates and told to hit or be fired. I ended up getting a bachelor’s degree and and on to a Masters.

"Come to think of it Twain was a reporter too."
Twain's father was a judge. Before public schools, literate mothers taught their children how to read, write and basic mathematics. Years ago, I remember reading that Boston literacy rate dropped precipitately after public schools were established. Might have something to do do with the coincidental Irish and other immigration.

”Years ago, I remember reading that Boston literacy rate dropped precipitately after public schools were established. Might have something to do do (sic) with the coincidental Irish and other immigration.” Are you saying the literacy rate dropped due to the establishment of public schools? …..or to the arrival of the Irish? Help me out here, I’m an autodidact.
