Dismissing certification is very silly. There's a reason why people get qualified and why companies hire qualified individuals.
There's no home schooled doctrates, nor are they getting hired to do anything substantially important.
In reality, having certifications is important - or your STEMs would be retarded like the general public.
It's why I have an AUM and can give financial advice 😉 qualified advice too.
And no, a piece of paper DOES certify that you are able to do what you can do, it's called a qualification AND each year you do tests and exams and have to pass in order to get said qualifications.
Put me up against someone who doesn't have the qualifications and we'll see who gets hired.
Bet.
