I don’t think anyone is bashing ALL colleges. Yeah, STEM, is where it’s at. There are enough lawyers for decades, those can be trimmed down by increasing the difficulty of becoming one, but it’s mostly a solid degree. The rest can go away! Trades and Tech school is where it’s at.
I wish we did a much better job pushing vocational training for people who really should not be on a college path. We would have better skilled labor earlier in the process.
