Why arent there 16yr old doctors, lawyers, academic teachers, college professors, etc..... |
Its funny you should mention doctors, lawyers, teachers....each one of those fields requires actual experience in order to get a job.
So would you want to go to a doctor that has never worked on a patient before or done the surgery? Just learned about it? Would you take a business college course from a professor who never worked in the business world? NO. And to get those jobs, you have to actually be able to perform what you learned.
So why would you take a martial art from someone who has never used what they are teaching in a live situation?
