This is not exclusive of the issue of thread parent.

Regulatory licensing hurdles AND education both have major issues.



I see no issue with the education system. You can learn anything you want on demand, for what is basically no cost whatsoever (other than your time and minor incidentals), with virtually no barrier to entry.

The credentialing and licensing process is horribly broken, but only related to education to the extent that we have decided to sometimes link them together. There is no intrinsic relationship between them.

are you referring to the internet as "the education system"?


Even just living life provides a constant education, if you are willing to accept it. You can gain an education at school, but school is not equivalent to education.


LOL. No issues with the education system. Cool. I'm just going to start practicing medicine tomorrow. I'll just Google everything. No need to pay 150k for med school. Random internet person said there's no problems with that.

The broken licensing system is going to get in your way of practicing medicine, but what issues does med education have? They are not the same thing.
