Technical high schools, not colleges— to train highly trained blue collar workers in continuously upgraded skillsets to match technology needs.

NOT sending an illiterate barely passed high school “grad” to “college” on a student loan to learn.... “women’s studies” or
“interpersonal relations” or origami. 200k later no skills and a professional whiner and teat sucker.

I am of the opinion that many of the kids who go to college who should not be there are doing it because it seems like EVERY damn job requires a Bachelor’s Degree.

I see postings for Receptionist positions requiring a college degree. Of course the pay is no better than it would be without the degree. I see many other job postings for jobs that do not require a degree in the real world specifying that the employer wants someone with a Bachelor’s Degree. Many companies want their people to have a degree, in any discipline, just to acquire an entry level job. This is why all of these idiotic degree programs exist.

Not everyone has a bad work ethic. In fact I would say a majority of young people want to work. Yes, sometimes their expectations are unrealistic, but that does not mean they are all drug addled lazy sloths.

This “skills gap” is conjured up by government and businesses in lock step with each other. One wants more power, the other wants below market value slave labor.
