I feel school is stupid as hell and such a big waste of time. Sometimes I fantasize about a highly advanced machine that can probe a person's brain and determine exactly how fit they are for a certain career/job based on their knowledge/experience in it, rather then some college credits. The machine will print out an official statement sheet indicating the person's experience/knowledge level in that job (As well as any other career/job) and they can use that as a substitute for a degree.
Seriously, the school system is so flawed, and so much of what they require you to learn is hardly even useful for the real working world. The internet can many times, better educate people for the real world. There are even some people out there who don't have a college education but yet are more knowledgable then those who are college educated.
It would be so much more logical and convenient if this machine existed. What do you guys think?

To be efficient in a job you have to have a sufficient level of knowledge about it before hand--> degree
Only a VERY small portion of what I know was actually learned at school and college.
There is one major problem though. It would have access to your memories in order to run the assessment, which could also be used by the operator to steal confidential information from you.
It sounds very controling, but I think it would actually keep our species organized, and every job gets done.
Some wouldn't go for it, but in the end, it would be a better job than many others.
Degree all the way as it's much more recognisable everywhere and you have it on a formal document as proof of your knowledge and success for life.
If you end up not liking your job, change course and do specifically related classes to your job.
Of course general knowlegde is always nice but for people who just want to get out of school and work, it would be great.
