If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

It's almost as if you breezed by the acknowledgement that some jobs do require secondary education. A fun fact about those doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals: following school they then spend another 4+ years in residency where they actually develop the skills they need to be that doctor you were referring to.
You acknowledged that first and then you said- "If you want to learn a profession there is nothing gatekeeping you from doing it."
So the second thing you said contradicted the former. I assumed via the way time works that the second one was the one you meant to say.
One statement does not contradict the other. Learning and education are not gatekept by a school. That is the point I made. Widen your view for a moment and maybe understand that a person can learn anywhere. The means to do so exist outside the hallowed halls of academia.
They are when it's medical school.
Not if they legally want to practice as a doctor.
Not if you wish to legally practice medicine.
I can't help but notice your... selection... seems to align with something I already covered. It really is a shame they dropped language arts from grade school curriculum.
edit:
To drill into this further - while there is a barrier to practice: that does not mean you cannot learn anything about the medical field while outside academia.
Yes, and then you keep contradicting that by saying things like "Learning and education are not gatekept by a school" and "Widen your view for a moment and maybe understand that a person can learn anywhere. The means to do so exist outside the hallowed halls of academia."
It's not my fault you can't make up your mind.
What precisely am I contradicting? Both of those statements are accurate.
They are only accurate if they apply to doctors as well. What you said before you said those things is not really relevant because, again, of the way time works.
