certainly in maths and science the bar has had to be lowered to bring the females into the quota system for medicine and other disciplines where males as a general rule do much better. Kinda like the army where the fitness bar is lowered for females to be promoted. The system overall has been dumbed down.

Is education way overrated in today's society?

Employers demand ever higher educational credentials
from their workers for several reasons. Firstly,
employers use formal qualifications to make their
task of screening and selecting job applicants easier.
And, when there is an oversupply of job candidates
with the necessary credentials, employers simply increase
the required qualifications. Also, employers share the
widespread belief that better-educated workers, are more
productive than those who are less educated. Yet
numerous studies have shown that there is little, or no
relationship between educational achievement and job
performance or productivity.

For example, good grades in a graduate school or
medicine or education are poor predictors of whether
someone will become a good doctor or teacher.

The fact is that the skills required to get an A grade in
a college or university course on anatomy or educational
philosophy are not the same as the skills needed to deal
with a medical emergency or an unruly junior high school
class. The universities, schools, colleges, teach very
little that is directly relevant to the world of work.

Most people pick up the necessary skills on the job, not in
the classroom and the characteristics that make for a
successful career (such as initiative, leadership,
drive, negotiating ability, willingness to take risks, and
persuasiveness) are not even taught in universities and
colleges.

It seems that the schools, colleges, and universities,
produce graduates with any number of educational
credentials but with few specifically job-related skills.

In fact, millions of people never put the specific content
of their college/university education to direct use in their
jobs, and more than half of the country's college/university
graduates actually work in fields they consider unrelated to
their major subjects.

Therefore on the whole, however, a higher credential means
higher earnings, simply because of the value the job market
places on it.

Hi Belly

my motto is the best person for the job.

Belly, runner is still sore about Eve feeding the apple to Adam. Is that correct runner. BTW what variety of apple was it? A Granny Smith.

Unfortunately the best person is often overlooked.
Or is put off from even applying.
