AQB's latest dumbing down by 'Stakeholders' Dropping the College Degree Requirement

[Zoe]

I have more questions. Let's start with that one first. If you can't answer that one question? We have a problem.

Don't get @djd09 going. He will go ballistic on who is involved.

Lots of people with a college degree work for $20 an hour.

Maybe 20 years ago. The only ones doing it today area because it's more of a hobby than a job. My 16 yr old daughter makes $15/hr as a lifeguard. I have no problem with anyone who just loves a low paying job and is the 2nd earner in a family, but it's not a profession. I don't think that's what appraising should be compared to.

You could give a good list of who is involved. I know you boy. LOL

Here's the funny part to me. Most of the high mighty that are involved have college degrees.

Think about that one. LOL

Most professions that require a college degree pay better - which is one of the reasons that the stakeholders and their lackey appraiser enablers wanted the college degree dropped for res end. Though I will add that some professions needing a college degree will pay on the moderate/lower side , such as social work or teaching, but they are mission-focused for people who want to make a difference. Not someone who wants to pick up a paycheck as a cashier or other low-skill noncommitment work. I respect anyone who works for a living, btw, but those who are smart enough to earn more elsewhere and opt to be of service instead, IMO deserve special regard for their choice.


Becoming an attorney, if the field wanted it, could skip college prep and just drill down on law classes, same for medicine.. Which is what their paralegals and medical assistants get for training. But they want college as a prerequisite for the depth of thought that studying subjects other than professional courses gives a person.

Then, dropping the college degree wasn't enough. Then they dropped the AA degree, but at least still required some credits. Then came PAREA which IMO is the least of th eprohlem.s

Then came, drum roll... not just dropping any college or AA degree, but not even requiring an appraisal license to inspect a property for an appraisal !! The next step was cutting up an apparisl fast food style into pieces, to outsource the inspection portion to non appraiser.

That is lacking in appraisal courses,... judging from the clueless posts here ...many can memoize enough to pass a test and get a license but haven't the faintest idea how to reason it out in an assignment, and piling more appraisal courses on that person won;t matter.

Answer my question woman? Who are the parties involved?
