That was a much more thought-through response than I had any right to expect. Thank you very much.
I do agree that credentials do not equal competency. Although they used to be a proxy (signal) of/for it. Universities manufacture credentials, not competency.
Many/most of us still living in a world-of-the-past where a university degree signaled a base-line competency to learn a domain. Not even that is true any more-- even from a top university.
