Too often we “sell” money/jobs as an end in itself. That has to change.
I have three teens. Their schools are trying to cram them into college, and they know its a sucker’s bet. The unions, God bless them (yes, you heard that right), are paying them $26/hr to learn their trade.
I have to tell you, this is an historic opportunity for the GOP and unions. They got hammered by the H1-B thing and illegal immigration as much as any of us did.
There is something there for smarter political minds than mine. The teens don’t have a path like we did as kids - graduate HS, go to college, job is waiting. That has morphed into graduate HS, go to college, no job available, $250K in debt is shackled to you forever (non-dischargeable in bankruptcy).
The GOP can break the college cabal on ideology with this if they are skillful.
