You're fucked in the modern world if you're an all-rounder fast learning competent individual in almost all fields.
There is no certificate or degree to indicate if you're one of these people.
You can't actually just go out and get a job. Want to try out a field? You can't. You must commit to it blind by pursuing an educational pathway first. Don't like the field? Too bad, fuck you. This new state of affairs is fairly unbelievable & key divide between olds & young.
