That you Sir, are in no position to judge.
Foxy,
I judge you by the way you portray yourself in what & how you write, that's sufficient evidence to form an acceptable opinion !

Individual,

We are all judged to a certain extent by our
postings. Yourself included. However, that
still does not fully reflect our capabilities
in what we are capable or not of understanding.
It may often depend on so many other things,
therefore our judgements are not always accurate.

For example, from your postings I would assume
you to have a very narrow view of certain
issues. And I could be wrong in tose assumptions
for I'm only seeing one side and not seeing the
full picture. Except in your case you are
repetitive with your obsession regarding professionals.

BTW: The link I cited earlier by Ben Pobjie was
tongue-in-cheek, you seemed to have missed that
fact.

your obsession regarding professionals.
Foxy,
I have no obsession with Professionals, I have issues with Academics who portray themselves as Professionals but are only Academics !
A competent Doctor is a Professional, an incompetent Doctor is a mere Academic !
A competent Manager is a Professional, an incompetent Manager is a mere bureaucrat !
I hope that goes some way towards explaining my "obsession" !

Individual,

An incompetent doctor is not an academic.
He/she is an incompetent doctor.
The same applies to teachers, nurses,
and other professionals. Their professions
don't make them academics necessarily.
Merely competent or incompetent in their
chosen fields. The same goes for managers.

The skills it takes to obtain their qualifications
are not the same skills that are required for how
they perform in any given job. Those skills are
usually acquired with on the job training - and
talent.

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 of
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
university or college course on anatomy or educational
philosophy are not the same as the skills needed to deal
with a medical emergency or an unruly high school class.

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 initative, leadership,
drive,, negotiating ability, willingness to take risks,
and persuasiveness are not even taught in the institutions
of higher learning and schools.

Nearly half of the country's university graduates end up
actually working in fields they consider unrelated to
the subject they studied.

Foxy - ageist again.

No. Foxy was not referring to age, but a mentality or
existing mindset. It has nothing to do with age.

But, "ageism" or whatever you want to call it is a very
British phenomenon. You don't get it too much in
other cultures.
