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.
It’s already here. I personally would like to see a consolidation of ‘inventory’ in the 30% range across the country. JC’s and vocational schools are already filling that gap.
Above all, THIS ISSUE is top of mind of kids approaching voting age. I run a Scout Troop and a Sea Scout Ship, and they are all scared to death.
The 14 and 15 year olds, when you bring up the topic, just shut down. They get precious little of the vocational side in HS.
We need to be talking to the 14 year olds, today. Most of what they see everyday doesn’t make sense. Tie it to liberalism (plantationism) and you can make the inroads.
