If you hire a person to change a spark plug, yes, you need a specific skill.
If you hire a person for a job - for something which you can't really narrowly define, and don't want to, for something which may need adaptation to unexpected tomorrow, then you need those specific skills of learning on the fly - something closely associated with prolonged education program. The program could be less formal or official, but you still want to see the ability to improve, possibly improve by oneself, and even sometimes to participate in generating ideas and decisions - and education is the process where you have good opportunities to flex these kind of muscles.
- mrits 3y agoDo you think a top 1% in something like SAT/ACT or a college degree is a better indicator of intelligence and ability to learn on the fly? Certainly at the beginning of the college career the top 1% would be a better indicator but at what point would the college education surpass that?
