Most of those accreditations exist only as a barrier to join the guild and limiting the supply of people in an industry, driving up costs. They establish some baseline of competency but it's mostly just a way to keep people out of the

CEOs can't fire their shareholders, though. I don't think being a Fortune 50 CEO is necessarily the best preparation for president, but there is definitely a lot of overlapping skills. This is very different than the businessman a

Another gripe, in the US they have gotten into the habit of calling street names by their state route number (that nobody knows), rather than the common name (that is on the street signs). On the other hand, a couple times Apple Maps has sc
