Aaah ... Good ol’ education! The new old bitcoin... I wonder if it will ever have any real value again. Back in 2017, PricewaterhouseCoopers announced it was scrapping degree requirements for employment and more recently Elon Musk told us he doesn’t really care for degrees. I love it. Finally, the world is coming to its senses that the piece of paper that represents you have some knowledge isn’t as valuable as we’ve made it out to be.
But for some reason we have socialised ourselves into believing that with education comes status. I went to university with some idiots and walking across a stage getting a rolled up paper and posing for a photo didn’t make them any smarter or wiser. Companies, politicians and society are telling kids they need a degree. Solve the following: how many kids are stuffed with knowledge after getting a matric certificate?
When one of my 600 students would come to discuss a test paper with me and they were clearly uninterested in the subject matter , I would ask them why they were studying this. The answer nearly always was that they wanted any degree to get a job.
