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.
Yes. And the future is NOT college for all. It will still be important, but not what it used to be. I don’t know when that breaking point comes.
