Let’s get rid of med schools, too. Right? I volunteer you as the first patient for those “doctors” who didn’t go to med school…

You are being sarcastic, but we could definitely streamline the way doctors are educated in the US! The UK does medical degrees through a 5-6 year undergrad program, compared with 4 year undergrad + 4 year medical school in the US.
I don’t disagree with you. I’m all for perennial reevaluations of how we train professionals to make sure we’re producing the best and brightest. But there is definitely a libertarian strain (especially among these commenters) that shits on formal education, which is dangerous and intellectually lazy.
