There are many tales from various employers of how clueless graduates are compared to people who’ve worked their way up within a business (it doesn’t even need to be the same business). That’s pretty sweeping of course: they have to have some sort of qualification and aptitude, but the problem with graduates is they’ve never had to deal with responsible decision-making.<BR/><BR/>What you say about the US and Germany appears to apply here too. University students are given no hands on experience during their years of study at all, and are thrown in at the deep end when they start working. Of course anyone can make a mistake, but it’s often remarked that too much emphasis is put of choosing people with university degrees rather than practical experience.Simon Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515986779205716110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-20354660225227994862009-04-01T11:08:00.000-07:002009-04-01T11:08:00.000-07:00Thailand is the reason behind Japan's skyrocketing...Thailand is the reason behind Japan's skyrocketing HIV levels.

University education, both here and in Germany (not sure about Britain) is more "book learning" and not as much hands-on study. Plus, the guys that teach night school are more likely to be working IN the field, and it's a second job, rather than being professional university professors who haven't worn dirty boots in years.

My late father was a project engineer for a company that sold water treatment equipment (mainly effluent treatment, by which I mean he dealt with things like contracts for entire sewage works). So he knew about mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, fluid mechanics and biology. However he left school at fourteen and learned it all in several years spent at night school rather than going to university, and what pissed him off was that there were others in his office with engineering degrees, who made some embarrassingly similar mistakes to the one you describe… yet they were paid more than he was.<BR/><BR/>And their standard of spelling and English grammar was appalling too – I think that upset him most of all.Simon Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515986779205716110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183315192721941079.post-37412716139744179162009-03-27T17:07:00.000-07:002009-03-27T17:07:00.000-07:00^ Most people know more than engineers, but few pe...^ Most people know more than engineers, but few people know more about beer than engineers.
