“having found “no evidence” that success at university was correlated with achievement in professional qualifications”
i can believe that. especially given the nature of today’s college degrees, which are for the most part VERY EXPENSIVE pieces of paper awarded for accepting the visions of Marxists teachers.
Even during the best of times, proving that one can slough through miles of crap for four or more years does not necessarily prove that one is talented, innovative, perseverant, focused, disciplined, or a hard worker.
Most large CPA firms have a minimum gradepoint average that they require before someone can even get an interview.
This article is talking about getting rid of a GPA threshold, not about doing away with the need for a college degree.
Amen.
College and university is just an expensive version of high school and after I graduated from high school, I wasn’t interested in subjecting myself to the exact same system. It’s not like college and university enables the driven to excel and cuts out the shiftless and parasites that use college as a means of partying and causing trouble they wouldn’t dream of doing at home.
In my experience in high school, mainstream education can also iron out the better traits of someone who is talented, innovative, perseverant, focused, disciplined, or a hard worker.
