Wes,
While I agree with you for the most part, there are some fields that you can't be trained for in a few weeks and some people could never learn to do the work. Take CW and Jamo for instance. They not only have to know all the little stuff but have to continually be learning every new thing that comes along, and believe me, in this age progress is measured in minutes not months.
I no longer count, but when I was working I was taking classes all the time on new stuff and having to pass tests to get my FCC licenses and other qualification certificates for stuff that I worked on. After I retired I just quit as it is to much work to keep up with the minute by minute changes and the only license I still have is my 1st class FCC one which I intend to keep.
