Having that piece of paper that proves you're qualified for your field does not necessarily mean you're by extension qualified for the jobs in that field, much like how there's hundreds of terrible schoolteachers out there.

I agree. I meant qualification in the sense of being qualified to do the job. You can be self-trained.

Not to be good at it though. Plenty of underqualified people would be better than you at your job. 
Bingo. 

I've even seen people with qualifications for an entirely unrelated field still end up in jobs that would normally require a different background. You need to be qualified normally to get through the door, but that does not mean that being given said piece of paper denotes how good or bad the work would be. 

Some of my teachers when I was growing up didn't even have official teaching degrees, but I'd still rank them above at least half of the teachers I've had as a matter of quality.

Bingo. 
Just to put it out there, I'm not even remotely disagreeing with that.

I meant in case you think that I was rebutting it.

Perhaps before proclaiming all these things and making value judgements about my job, it might be a good idea to first ask me what it is I do?

That'd just further get away from the point. Even if you are trained to do a very specific and complex job, like microbiology or some shit, there's definitely someone out there who can do it with dubious if not absent qualifications. The hardest part there is getting them to actually hire you for it if it's not your own independent work, which itself is not impossible but rather unlikely. 

Chapo has already given the qualifier of 'if given enough time'.

So you think Chapo would be able to do my job better, given how much time?

Doing the job better, I have no idea over how I don't know your quality of work beyond the anecdote of that student or whatever. He could end up a better person for the job for all I know with some on-site training if he has the right mindset and potential for it. 

Getting qualified or smooth talking his way in though? That's completely variable.

Anywhere from three to twenty years maybe?

So what he's really saying is that if he has twenty years, he may be able to do my job better?

I edited when I misunderstood the question as if it were about qualification and have since revised to be more on point. 

Your focus on 'may' though has me inclined to say yes, as it's still within the realm of possibility. It's not like your job requires having an extra digit or something right?
