I have no problem with purchasing training.
Unfortunately, most of the time that's not what you're buying. You're buying a card.
Sure, there are exceptions, but here's the thing - it kinda goes back to some of my college experiences. There were people in one of the "weed-out" classes who were TRULY having trouble - this was a class reputed to have a 70% failure rate on the first shot, after all.
This was the class that finally drove me to leave college. Why? Because I knew the subject matter better than the "professor" did. It got boring leaving him red-faced at the front of the class.
I heard that "Rescue" was tough, as an example. I didn't think it was tough. Somewhat physically demanding, but not difficult. A year prior? I might have failed it! But when I took it? It wasn't hard at all.
When you stop learning, that's when its time go quit before you get hurt. But its nothing more than capitalism run amok to suggest (or state outright) that the only way you can learn what you need to know is by buying a class.
