apprenticeships: medical education. the problem of the ‘runaway apprentice’ is fixed by the licensure, board certification, and hospital privileging processes. The master (to use the antiquated term) gets ample utility during the many years of training, plus federal subsidy. And for the physicians in sufficiently competitive markets that the master would not otherwise take on a new apprentice (Fellow in medical parlance, having post residency training), assumes a non-compete clause.
Ample people and institutions available to offer medical residency and fellowship training.
I could characterize the “culture fit” interview described in your second link as discrimination against autistics, and therefore against the handicapped.
