Professional experts suck! I know I used to be one.

Many years ago I realized that complex problems always have simple solution and simple problems are made complex by those that see profit in complexity.

 

Experts are people that normally add complex details, to something that is basically too simple for them to be called an expert of.  Notice the legal sector of society if laws where simplified it to their simples form, then there would be no need to pay absorbent fees for lawyer’s advice or services.

 

Within the Information Technology industry new terms and words are invented to help make technologies look more complex than they really are. Have you noted that the term user friendly concerning software seemingly does not mean the same as it did 20 years ago.  It now means: “Hey!” you need a software course to use our software and find our easy it is to use.  

 

Some of the most complicated documents have been penned by civil servants of whom seeming have mastered the art of using words a phrases that purposely make it so hard to see the simple facts. Some of the best examples over the last 30 years have come from the EU where they have created stacks and stacks of complicated documents.

 

My analysis is that the experts in all highly salary fields complicate our lives by complicating the simple things to prove they are experts or for the sake that we have to use experts to find the simple solutions or facts within the documentation that’s been complicated on purpose to ensure there is a need of experts.

 

Complicated: means money. Having been an expert in many fields of IT and accounting, I always knew how simple things really were and of course my fees were high enough to be very happy that I was a qualified software and hardware specialist and also an accountant.  But how simple it was to do tasks that my clients thought was highly complicated in some way that amused me.

 

 I enjoyed however supplying simple solutions to the really complicated problems that were out side of my area of expertise and others had not seen the simple solution to solve the problem. That’s the only time I really felt that I was an expert doing what an expert should really do.

 

 Over the years I have found it wise to broaden my understanding of business law and various professional areas that I normal consulted experts on, even how to even how to fix a leaking tap.  It all was so simple and reading those great books for dummies became a way of life that saved me hard cash. Experts became only an option concerning medical or a requirement of law, need or security.
