The irony being I know lecturers who teach at actually prestigious universities and make decent money and have none of the useless requirements satisfied.

PhD and postdoc include on the job training as a teacher.
But does not give you the certifications/course work. Which the cc likely requires.

I went to take an EMT class. I was required to show I passed high school algebra. I couldn't get my hs transcript. The cc wouldn't accept my college transcript because the lowest math I took in college was calc two. Same for English comp. I tested out of that in college so much lowest comp class was 350 - tech writing.

I had to take 2 hours of online tests to show the competency. For a class that didn't even require either.

The person has neither..
