exams, hmm thats a good one, i do not think exams are necessary but, the world sems to think that everything can be measured, in my experience most of the people that know a lot about any single subject, ONLY talk about that subject, some of the "supposedly" most intelligent people i have ever met, can't do the basic things, Such as, i once met someone that could write down mathematically what a capicitor does in any given circuit but could'nt wire a plug. "Exams are for employers" , "Experience is for people".

I think it is necessary, especially for college. If you didn't have exams you would have people getting all types of degrees and not know what in the world they are doing. Don't know about you but I don't want a doctor, lawyer or anyone else dealing with me if they have no clue what they are doing. People need to be tested because for all you know they could be cheating their way through the courses.
