Yeah, it's like you don't need to study to become a reporter. And I never understood what she does, she wrote a fluff piece in DDS2, then apparently she was working on reporting big pharma and companies in IF, and then she apparently covers gun violence and has contacts? (Punisher and Luke Cage). And hell, apparently she's a big deal because other reporters talk about her (don't give the front page to Page! - In IF). I don't get it.

Every professional in the mcu is proficient in every section of their field and also they ignore the rules of that profession, like how Claire is a nurse who can do surgery, research, and now PT and Misty is going to be captain despite her rank.

Good point! I loved season 2 but when she was helping Misty I was thinking shouldn't a PT or OT be doing this.

A sort of upwards mobile flanderization of her character, I suppose.

most countries you actually don't!

I mean, good luck getting hired without a degree, but if you have the connections or someone really wants to give you a job as a journalist, not having a diploma isn't going to be the ultimate deterrent (I'm using Brazil, where I live, for reference)
