THIS!! Big brain comment you have right there. Technical schools for stem and trade schools for labor but everything else becomes decentralized and deregulated. 90% of white collar employees are braindead and have no actual skills. As for the rest? Art, humanities, etc
Those are incredibly important to the world in their own way and we should work towards a society in which that set of people can pursue their God given talents and form of intelligence without being in debt just the same as an engineer who will be swimming in money
Oy vey, don't ask questions, goyim! Laugh at the divisionary meme!
Oh no!
It also depends on what you do with and for yourself. I never took a single college class. I did take a bunch of CLEP and DANTES tests while in the military, and I intended on being a doctor (ever since I was a very young child). I learned a great skill in the military (cybersecurity) and decided I didn't need to get a woke paper on my wall and put myself through 4-8 years of idiocy. Despite what people think, if you want to learn and can do the heavy lifting on your own you can do just fine without a degree. I make enough that I have never been able to claim any of the government handouts or tax breaks.
Seniors aren't marketable because for at least 20 years now they have basically been taught crib notes, with the lefties leaving all the important historical stuff out. They also teach to the lowest ability in the class so everyone is held back so Johnny or Karen doesn't feel bad. They can tell you all about Kwanzaa, LGBTX, and climate change but have no idea about Iran Contra, Grenada, Noriega, or even the Pentagon Papers. They can't name the 3 branches of the US govt, have no idea how many senators we have, and probably can't name or recognize ANY of the last 5 VPs. Most can't even read or write cursive - if they can even read at all.
The really sad part is it doesn't matter if kids fail anymore. Leftist teachers just keep promoting them up and out of the system with a diploma that isn't worth crap. The worst part is these teachers don't see the long-term problem with this. They want to just get these kids out of their hair (and not have to deal with parents) so they are someone else's problem. Guess what - they are everyone's problem once they graduate with no skills, no critical thinking, and no prospects or desire for a job. More and more of these kids will end up being paid for by the taxpayers... for life.
If people on the left could wake up enough to hear this one point we might be able to fix this.
Did the military teach you to write cursive?
My Mom did when I was 7. At least she taught me to sign my name. I don't remember how much longer it took me to get the rest of the alphabet but I know it was sometime during elementary school.
The military taught me to write code.
The question people need to be making is what is the return they should expect from going to college and if people who went to college can't pay back their debt then maybe college is not a good career choice for many people. Sure they might make 30k more a year but they need to balance that against the 200k in debt and interest they need to pay and four years of little earnings to get a degree. Whereas if they did a trade then they can start earning money faster right away and they won't have crippling debt and with the labor shortage for trade skills they can easily earn as much as a college graduate now.
I concur. College was straight up the second round of high school, at least for the first two years. Such a waste of money and time!
