Why are the ones who work full/part time so stupid than? To the point where if they're asked to do anything involving technology or something like basic math, they get a look of terror?
Beyond that, I think most of the efficiency and attention to detail that work teaches is in the boomer sense of not using technology properly and therefore just being extremely inefficient.
I think you've got a twisted view of society generally, and it also depends on the experience of those individuals themselves.
Society is generally bad at math and technology. They probably aren't worse than most people. Schooling just harps on mathematics that only specific trades actually use in normal life.
That being said, having also worked in IT, highschool graduates are also doing programing, coding, and networking. Since it is their trade, they've learned it much more thoroughly in it's application than anyone at the university has. They will assume incompetence coming from universities compared to their direct level of mathematical skill that they need to do their job.
If you're talking about high-school grads that went into carpentry, sure you can do diff eq better than them. But don't be surprised if they know trigonometry better than you do when they use it every day. Even if they can't theoretically drive it from fundamentals.
Okay, sit down time.
Come here.
That is an opinion that will cost you a job, your career, and your sanity.
It's not even scientifically debated that "multi-tasking" yourself with lots technology will destroy your efficiency. The boomer philosophy of attention to detail is absolutely critical to your life, and will cost you in every possible way imaginable. That is that: 'sit down, nose to the grindstone, solve the problem, do it the right way, and make sure you've built it to last' mentality.
They have that, because many cheap professionals will do a rushed job that meets the requirements, but doesn't excel them, isn't redundant, doesn't last, and isn't aesthetically pleasing.
Could be as simple as fixing a gutter.
You'll pay some asshole $150 to fix your gutter, and it'll break next year.
Or, you can install it yourself. You'll learn the new skill and how to solve these problems in the future. You'll follow the instructions carefully, and use all the right tools and procedures. It will take longer, might even cost the same amount, but once the gutter is working right, you can fix all the other gutters in the future, or even help your friends fix theirs. If you did it with an intent to last, it will continue to function properly for many years. If you made sure it was aesthetically appealing, you'll get to take pride in the work that you did, and it will be a morale and confidence boost.
That attention to detail is very important; and you don't have to rely on con-men who don't give a fuck about you and over-charge because you're too helpless to do their job.
Lacking attention to detail will absolutely piss people off because they'll realize you don't give a fuck about what you're doing, despite the fact that you're being paid to do it, and they have every right to be furious with you.
If you go down the route of multi-tasking your problems away, you'll find yourself less productive, more busy, and generating worse results.
Questions?
I mean your normal high school graduates who went into whatever. I mean the ability to problem solve with technology to any degree, writing a word document is considered a skill in the current climate.
The latter is purely due to boomer attention to detail. The con-men, and the people who end up making mustard gas in an effort to clean their homes are products of valuing effort and connections without basic knowledge. I'd also consider it a scam to pay someone for months of "work" to complete a task that can be done in a trivial amount of time by technology.
Human error loses to technology in efficiency and effectiveness in almost every situation except those highly specialized.
That highly depends on the person who built the technology, and understanding what the tool is for.
Technology is a capital investment on human capital, the is no endpoint to that statement. There is no point where technology can't be invested in, but there is also no end point to where humans will find new processes that require human input and organization.
