I respectfully suggest that we don't train the little buggers in
schools. We teach them stuff. Then, when the come out with (one hopes)
a good general education tending towards a specialisation in the
subjects they are interested in, their employers invest some money
training them to do the specific job that they're employed to do.

Wanders off muttering about the idiotic downgrading of 'academic'
teaching in favour of generic vocational training...

And while I'm about it, can I please kill anyone who complains that
our universities are 'too elitist?'. Excuse me? I thought that was the
whole point.

Ahem.
