For me you spoke volume in what I see is wrong with the school systems. Everyone is always so concerned about having to pass tests that are only good at putting you in a box, and the way you think in a box. Some of the best classes I ever had the teacher was the book that taught the class. The book didn’t teach the class.

The same can be said for most job markets. Every company wants that “perfect” employee that fits in their box of checkmarks. They often overlook and even miss out on great problem solvers that could have solve issues their standard cookie cutter employee will not. Even when they do hire that great problem solver the company’s internal politics and policies restrict that employee in such a way they underutilize those skillsets.
