You get an A, then you will get whatever job you wish, whatever you wish...
There are limitation still, like you can't be a doctor if you are an IT bachelor, but you got my point...

That limitation kind of undercuts your point, actually.
Akane was able to go to everything from the Ministry of the Economy to the Ministry of Technology to the Public Safety Bureau (as a Police Inspector, essentially). And there may well have been more besides. There's a considerable range amongst these three disciplines (Economists, Engineers, and Police Chiefs are three pretty different professions, just like Doctors and IT specialists are two pretty different professions).
Anyway, in my country, job interviews still matter, to the best of my knowledge. A good, applicable resume gets you the interview, but how you handle the interview is important.

So you are saying that we can't have speedometer because it doesn't have empathy?

Of course I'm not saying that.
But speedometers don't give out spoken recommendations like "Give that driver a speeding ticket." or "Give that driver a breathalyzer test." or "That driver is breaking the speed limit by over 40%. Arrest the driver and put him in jail for the night."
That's a
key difference between the speedometer and the Dominator that you're glossing over here...
And you know what? This hits home personally for me. A couple weeks ago I was driving to work in a nasty rainstorm. Partly due to that (and construction workers not being active in the bad weather) I missed the fact that I was driving through a Construction Zone. I ended up breaking the speed limit for a construction area, but still going below what the speed limit would normally be. I received a ticket for that, but the police officer lowered it after I explained my case to him. Would that had happened if a Sibyl system had told him "Give that driver the standard penalty for driving over the speed limit in a construction zone"? Personally, I doubt it.
This is part of the reason why I want police officers to act on their own personal judgement, taking each case in full context, and not just going along with what some uncaring machine tells them to do.
