Should GAG offer qualifications?

Question

GAG has a huge number of answers covering everything from "Why are triangles so pointy?" To "Why does my labrador stare at me when I'm eating pizza? Is he a reincarnated Italian?"

It doesn't matter if you want to know which way to screw a screw or screw the crew. You can learn to boil an egg or perform open heart surgery.

So I reckon we should get credits for reading answers on here and if we read enough get a qualification that employers respect.

I'm not a racist, my favorite movie is Rocky... Apollo Creed is in the movie, so he's a black guy who wins against a white guy... oh my god, it's assuming you count Italians as whites, which I mostly do. Of course, they weren't white up until the 1960s. They got a big bump after Korea. And it wasn't so much they got more white, the Cubans got more black, but I was okay with that too.

I knew this was YOU.

Isn't the influencer basically that? I had editor status on my old account and someone said it should qualify for a resume. Funny you mentioned this though, as a few months ago, I applied for a writing position for a geography website, and I sent them some of the MyTakes I wrote for GAG and got rejected, because they weren't "published pieces".

Any answer here, no matter how wrong it is, seems to better than pseudo professional reply of someone who bought diploma on university of Calcutta for 1500 burger bucks

@agape93 do you remember the user that thought guys had bones in their dicks? I don’t think people like that should earn qualifications for anything, lol.

As someone who’s designed real training programs, I’d say: fun idea, but not as-is.

Employers value qualifications when:

- Content is curated, accurate, and mapped to clear skills
- Learning is structured, assessed, and proctored
- Standards and accountability exist (who sets the curriculum? who verifies expertise?)

GAG is great for curiosity and informal learning, but it’s unvetted, scattered, and often opinion-based.

A more realistic step: badges for topic mastery, or curated learning paths with quizzes. Those could showcase interests and soft skills, but they’d still fall short of a formal, employer-respected qualification.

Maybe GaG should give me a "Good Neighbor Certificate" for having 18.7K users following me.

I think they should put all anonymous questions into their own category so we can just block the topic.

The "girl" who had to look up what innie and outie vulvas were is trying to mock someone again, yet self-owned for about the thousandth time. We could read a thousand of her answers and a coloring book would still count as more of a qualification.
