Many youths are not capable of the technical degrees that have higher standards than a simple BA, so they should think of the many trade schools that provide good jobs. We see all the commercials on TV about trade schools and how they place their students into well-paying jobs.
“Business, math, engineering and science degrees are what fuels innovation. Bachelor of Arts (BA) are useless with their myriad of worthless social studies.”
Bingo! Earning a degree in STEM will almost guarantee you that you will have a good paying job. Unless you want dirty jobs, as somebody has to do it so don’t get me wrong, going into STEM means a white collar high paying stable job.
Problem today is that for every math, science or engineering grad we have at least ten Liberal Arts grads who have glommed onto Government jobs and who now regulate the math and science majors.
(full disclosure: I was a History major)
