The title should read “17,000,000 million Americans who would have better off in trade school wasted their money and ours on a federally subsidized college education.”
I personally think everyone who wants a degree should have a fall back. Carpenters, meat cutters, electricians, plumbers etc are always in demand. Right now I need an electrician and doggone can’t find one that has a few minutes to spare for my small job.
