I'm glad college is becoming less popular, but 10 years ago it was conservatives saying "son you'd better go to college or you're gonna become a garbage man and die"
Itโ€™s complicated. You do need a way to set proto-specialists apart from normies with no potential, but colleges are so infiltrated with propaganda, and itโ€™s not clear how you would separate the two because all the money comes from a certain class of subversive bankers
School teaches people not to think for themselves. A free thinking person would set a mission and then try to accomplish it. The way I learned programming was 1) doing personal projects, 2) being part of communities. If you need an institution to tell you what to do with your life, you've already lost.
@DotardTedThat might work for coding but I prefer for my doctor to not be self-taught...
Even in the presence of a teacher you still have to teach yourself. I do believe a person with the right motivation could become a doctor without college. Illegal, but good.
The future is what we make of it

Licensing is a social construct

Legality is a social construct

Now that we can vet service providers on the net, Yelp could, in theory, become part of a new licensing service that the people demand
@DotardTedI prefer my doctors to be able to do math beyond 6th grade, but that's not happening.
