Companies should not be able to make you sign a non-compete agreement. If a person spends a lot of time and money educating himself for a particular career, it would be pretty stupid to sign an agreement preventing him from pursuing that career if he should stop working for his present employer.

Non-compete agreements should be replaced by non-disclosure agreements.
