>A belief that formal education, diplomas, etc equate with intelligence, >competence, qualifications to perform an occupation is a widespread >contemporary prejudice. It's got a similarity of a faith. Occasionally expressions of this "faith" come up on this list, unchallenged, and they irritate me.
This 'faith' is grounded in facts: 1. You require a minimal intelligence to get through formal education. 2. You need some grounding in the fundamentals of your trade. 3. You have to prove you are trainable. If this is prejudice, so be it! - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
