Things that annoy you (19 Viewers)

I think it has turned around again to some extent - 10 years ago you needed a degree for anything . Now many large organisations going the apprenticeship route even in favour of graduates
That is certainly happening where I work with much better results

Most grad schemes should be apprenticeships IMO. Any business will find it better training staff specifically. I retrained six years ago and I don’t think I’ve used a single piece of tech I was taught. It’s just a fancy application filter to find capable people.

Get back to degrees being for passion and research and jobs being about jobs. I definitely bring something others don’t as a programmer with a Computer Science degree, but am I am overall better developer than those who are self taught? Not particularly. Same for teaching TBH other than my subject knowledge.

My ex sister in law has an animation degree and has worked at Howdens in the office and now works as a train conductor. Other than killing her passion for animation, what was the point in her degree for her or the state? Wouldn’t both have been better off with a system where she could earn and also have avenues to further her passion?

Not so long ago, many major IT firms used to hire people with English and History degrees ahead of IT ones as they brought critical thinking, the ability to solve problems, and weren't encumbered with the useless knowledge so could be trained afresh.

Including my Dad. Guy I used to work with was a Biology grad who just decided tech paid better. Still grads though. And if all degrees are doing is basically selecting for intelligence and/or work ethic surely there’s a mechanism we can devise that doesn’t bankrupt everyone and take three years out their life?

Email from EDF telling me I can reduce my CO2 footprint by 12.5% if I install a heat pump. In the same email they have an offer for air conditioning units. Must think we are idiots.

It's always existed in reality it is now just based on more but not entirely objective data rather than somebody having a view that one team had the best chances.

The only way I could think to improve it is to take more attributes into account, but then you’re taking from a smaller pool of data per attribute and probably harming the model. In theory with enough data points you could make it a much better model. But you’d need stats from likely every professional and semi pro team on the planet.

Its a game of football , if you actually just sat and watched it, instead of wanking yourself off to every statistic going, you might just be able to actually figure it out yourself?
