The article is about accountancy. Accountancy is not academia.

>In the end of the day academia in general should stop relying on exams based on memorization of random facts and start using real world examples of what kind of work student would be working with as an employee.

I have an undergraduate degree and PhD in chemistry and I don't really think "blind memorisation" had much to do with my success. It will only get you so far.

I think there is also substantial within academia about the purpose of academia. I think a lot of academics might disagree that it is about preparing people to be employees.

Statistically, how many people will become private employees and how many people will stay in academia to do science? Disagreement is just denying reality.
