Are you sure about that? I think a lot of current education is nothing more than indoctrination hidden under layers of obfuscation. For instance, teaching reading is so f*cked up by colleges of education, you would not even believe it This is why many people cannot read better than 1-3rd grade and are in prison.
Here is a good article about reading: #816503
I agree there are only some fields where it is good, though.
Yeah I’m sure. Stuff that matters like being a surgeon or a commercial airline pilot having basic knowledge goes a long way.
As with anything the education system has some worthless degrees but formal instruction is still warranted.
reply
Yes, warranted in only some areas, not all. Most of the sh*t in college could be cut right out of the curriculum with no loss. Also, what may be needed is not given.

The administration bloat is a problem in all levels of society. For every k00b you have like 5 or 10 people who are not as nearly skilled as he is but will make 10 times as much as he does just by telling him what to do and making sure he’s a good employee

That's what happens when the protection is too heavy. Also, not having merit based promotions hurts. A lot of administrators get promoted beyond their competency level.

Also, many companies are loathe to demote to the highest competency job or to do a lateral move to where the person would then again become very competent at his job. Lateral transfers sometimes have a bad odor about them.

Yup the Peter principle

Yes, I am a bit surprised someone outside of management and business knows the name of the Peter principle. Sometimes it is just easier to say the principle than just the name.
