Requiring brick layers to learn the chemistry of cement wouldn't suit society's demand for brick laying services. It's not a matter of capitalism, it's a matte

Requiring brick layers to learn the chemistry of cement wouldn't suit society's demand for brick laying services.
It's not a matter of capitalism, it's a matter of priority.
We at this forum are a tiny minority of people who have the time and mental capacity to learn science. Most people in the world are struggling to have quality food and a roof.
Although not as essential as housing, the software industry also faces such challenges. Sure, every IT shop would love to have computer scientists, but they need some things done and there wouldn't be enough scientists if every developer was waiting to accomplish a full CS degree and get 5 years of high quality CS experience.
- namaria 3y agoI'm not talking about credentials or trade vs science. I'm talking about the attitude and disposition of knowing just enough and tuning out the rest vs being curious and digging deeper. This has nothing to do with society, markets or staffing practices. This is about how each one of us can approach challenges. Besides most people in the world are not struggling. Where do wealthy Americans get this idea that out there most people are poor and ignorant? Global poverty and vulnerability stands at around 15% of population.
