    I don’t disagree at all, Information has always been out there for those who seek it out, the problem lies within capitalism, which only values education that has been paid for.

    Often jobs will require a degree and experience, even trades that you say require informal training often require some sort of red seal or at least have an apprenticeship program.

    You can get that education however you like, but its a bit more difficult to find an employer in a labour flooded market that is willing to let you prove your knowledge if you don’t have the recognition to back it up.

    The education isn’t any less fruitful, but it is just valued less by the ruling class simply because it didn’t require money.

      You’re ignoring safety.

      Last thing I want is a Civil Engineer who’s not been properly vetted.

      We have enough facility failures even with civil engineering certs. Imagine if it was more cavalier.
