Career Skills (A tad bit disappointed)
I'm not going to say that this is a major pet peeve, because I have, for the most part, learned to ignore it. But every once in a while, like today for example, I just have to take a few minutes to ra...

Also, not trying to be rude either I'll just say....
How things work in real life is completely irrelevant to the fact that I would like to experience a bit more balance to the skills' system in a video game.
However, on the topic you mentioned.... a trained professional will likely most often be more educated than the majority of those who learn on their own in their free time. Simply because the trained professional can't (by school practices) limit themselves to the education of just the topic they are wanting to work in.
(for me) To study business administration in University.... I had to have on my list of studies extra courses called electives. I chose History, Spanish, and Sociology. Though someone at home may be able to learn economics better than the graduate, or speak Spanish better than the graduate (justifying your point), they will need to study longer than that to achieve the equivelent of any MBA graduate. Just economics, or just Spanish, won't cut it.
To add another example. As a musician (guitar) I can go to youtube and find far too many amazing players who can very easily make me feel like I should just quit playing..... despite my over 30 years experience at fooling around with guitars.....
...... However, as a musician, i'm not limited to just guitar playing. I have spent decades learning the 9 elements of music (Melody, Harmony, Rhythm, Form, Counterpart, Tone Color, Density, Dynamics, and Texture), and read up a bit on Sound Acoustics, and Musicology. Many youtubers may be able to play the guitar better than me, but they still have a lot of studying to do before I get truly worried.
That being said, still, I wouldn't assume to be arrogant enough to walk up to a professionally trained student of the arts, thinking I could hold my own.... as i'm sure I'd be soon embarrassed by their advanced training.
Just saying.
Back to the topic at hand, I wish there was more balance in the sims 4 skill system so lazy sims couldn't achieve the same level skills as trained sims working in those career fields.
