We need fewer buying into the lie that they need to go to college. There are far better options for most people.
They’re not used to working after they spend 5-6 years in college. It takes 5 years for the average student to receive a bachelors degree.
It’s one reason why many illegals flourished. They were taking hard working jobs while our young were being fed useless crap at many of our colleges and universities. And they want us to pay for them not working while they were being fed useless crap.
We’ve got to hold the colleges and universities accountable.
We’ve got to limit the funds we’re offering for unproductive degrees. If a school is not offering a return for their students, we need to limit the taxpayer funds they can take. A lot of these places of higher learning need to be shut down.
Agreed, many need nothing more than a H.S. education - call it 20% -25% of the population. Another 25% would benefit from a 2 year trade school for a specific trade, from electrician to plumber to "other". Another 25% would benefit from a more technical type trade school education - Nursing, PA, charter school teachers, etc. About 20% could go to a "college" for engineering, science, pre med, etc. That leaves 5% that can continue to get worthless liberal arts degrees.
The 1971 Griggs vs Duke Power SCOTUS decision is a major reason that companies began requiring unnecessary college degrees.
Companies could no longer use their own in house tests for hiring without the constant risk of getting sued for hiring too many white males.
“It takes 5 years for the average student to receive a bachelors degree.”
When I went to college, you were expected to do four years of work in four years.
Much of the value of going to college was proving you could get work done on time.
