Interesting. I can tell you the scientific research caper has no shortage of people who think having a PhD entitles them to a comfy salary regardless of actual research carried out. At least sports stars and rock stars get huge money because their fans want to see them, not because they told someone that's what they're worth.

Re: A 'Good Education' - Why?
Education, generally, is the surest route to a better income, that's a statistical fact. To me, though, learning should be as much about broadening yourself as the retention and regurgitation of facts. There is no substitute for experience, in any field.
Why would you expect a doctor to have any kind of ability beyond his or her sphere? They are competent at passing exams in their chosen area, just like any other professional. The exams equip them to perform a limited and focused task. I don't expect a builder to be proficient in anything other than building...if he's Polish. If he's British I'd expect him to be idle and incompetent.
Education good. Experience good.

Our Aussie builders are imcompetent, unobtainable, disinterested and outrageously expensive.
Apart from that, they're fine.

Yes, because it would be a lie

Lies and truth do not matter when it comes to political correctness.

Re: A 'Good Education' - Why?
I'm correct, Sam. Just not political.
I suppose I could be accused of being builderist, which I'd hold my hand up to.
It's always about who is saying what of whom. Or do I mean womb?

Re: A 'Good Education' - Why?
Can't say that I ever put my Economics/Computing degree to any real use, and now that I'm self-employed, don't suppose I ever will. Was probably worth going to uni just to bang some nice tight middle-class pussy tho', seeing as I only came out with a 2-2...!hmmm!
