Yup why do you need to take a geology class to deal with mentally ill people? Why do you need to take a psychology class to be a geologist? Outside of things like being a surgeon there is no reason why you couldn’t learn most white collar jobs in two years.
So the deleted comment below was meant to be after this comment.
But then you wouldn’t be WELL ROUNDED!!
Sarcasm intended, my biggest gripe is that I had to take racquet ball to be a math teacher!!🤬 the universities just want your money!
Because Degrees became a filter for weeding out undesirable people. As Companies and Governments became forbidden from using tests and other factors because of “Disparate Impact”.
Functionally speaking. An inordinate amount of key factors of White Collar work of the last 25-30 years could be performed with a semi-competent understanding of the Microsoft Office Suite. The ability to perform and understand basic Math. And a reasonably pleasant disposition and conversational skills. The last bit is usually skills built over experience rather than taught.
Why so many memoirs of bygone ‘Self Made Men’ usually include some variation of the “Walk in. Proceed directly to the manager. Give him a firm handshake and ask for a job.”

It's exactly how some professors are guaranteed a job. People MUST take their class, even if it's unrelated to their degree.
Exactly
