I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

You proved my point.
You go to trade school. That is when you have already decided to be a welder. Then you get an apprenticeship.
And both teach you how to when you need it.
Didnt need a schoolcourse on it.

But you said your job should teach you.

I'm saying that your not going to find a job that teaches you unless it is an apprenticeship (which is not a common thing outside of trades anyways)

There is not a single program, that every job has as a requirement.
None of my employees, unless they choose to, work with Excel.
We have no Excel sheets. Unless someone chooses to.
And if someone comes to me and has the technical skills required to do networking or low voltage work, then we teach him all the software we use.

And nobody that learns the trades that i employ for learns networking in school. They learn it when they need to learn it, which is when they have already decided that they wanna do the job.

No Starbucks Barista needs Excel

That's because random Joe office worker doesn't need to know networking to do their job. But they need to know basic Excel. I really don't think you understand just how common spreadsheets are in just about every profession that uses a computer.
