    If children started school at six months old and their teachers gave them walking lessons, within a single generation people would come to believe that humans couldn't learn to walk without going to school.

        Hiring for a job, management thinks candidates with the degrees are more capable than those without one, neglecting the real knowledge.

        I believe (hope?) employers are starting to pay a little more attention to accomplishment and potential, and a little less to academic credentialing.

        Absolutely. Have been told by numerous professors that some employers don’t give a damn about your degree, just previous experience. Makes me wonder if I’m wasting my time and money with College.

        Starting college but not finishing signals to most employers a lack of commitment and follow-through. Earning the degree matters. Now that you are on that path, keep going. It's best to get it in four years. Even better to get it in under four.

        We get it. It’s super tragic. And takes a whole lot of disruption to fix. The more employers think outside the box, the more schools will change. I hope they will...

        You missed the point! it makes fun of the idea that if you didn’t learn a specific skill from school then you didn’t learn it properly or it’s less valuable because you learned without going.

        Because in a single generation the whole of humanity would acquiesce to the almighty education system (which is the same across all global cultures) in totality. This notion is naive.

        2 We know so much more about how people learn now. Or methods and or institutions need to evolve.

        This lack of evolution must explain the flimsiness of this analogy. Which I understand. I’m just saying it’s lazy in its execution.
