This is a universal problem though. You only have 2 min of a reviewers time to sell yourself. That’s all a resume is.
> For 10 years now, I've worked with people who can barely do the job
I saw a lot of this before but it’s not been my experience lately. Probably because work for companies that do value degrees.
Once again, we have a credentialing option, it is just (correctly) not enforced.
> We need people to apprentice
Nobody really does this anymore because it’s so inefficient. Even trades which use those terms are really just a regulatory stamp (like professional engineer), not a close teaching relationship.
Apprenticeships were traditionally between very young men 12-14 and lasted for 8-10 years.
