How School Trains Us To Fail In The Real World
Instead of learning critical life skills on how to manage money, how to
negotiate, or how to communicate, kids are mostly taught to memorize
information.
School is an unsuitable learning environment for many jobs
For those that say school is not the place to impart wisdom to youngsters, but to prepare them for the workplace, I hear ya, but sorry. You just walked into a nasty trap with that point of view. If school is to prepare us for a career, then why is it that it’s absolutely horrible at accomplishing that?
College claims to be the safe, sure way for a great career (it’s not)
Some may think that employers love to train employees their way, but I
think the truth is more often a “plug and play” preference. Would you
rather hire someone who has proven they can do the job well, or someone
who has a piece of paper that says they “might be a good employee, after
training of course?” It hurts to be rejected on the basis of limited
experience, but it’s an employer’s market out there, and businesses tend
to play it safe when they can.
