This is a good thing. Young people can work in trades and realistic careers.

Universities need to be reserved for STEM type degrees. Eliminate fluff and over-reliance on kids games (sports)

Yes, youngsters can learn about the 57 genders and ethnic studies in middle school. No need for college level classes for that. Although the universities can be useful for the Alt. History courses they teach.

Then we need to change laws at the state and federal level that require college degrees to enter certain professions.

At one time one could sit for the CPA exam after having worked for so many years in an accounting firm Not any more, most if not all states require at least a four year degree and in some cases a fifth year to sit for the exam.

My mom worked for the IRS for over 30 years and became an enrolled agent after she required. She knew more about income taxes then most recent accounting graduates. She only finished high school.

Universities need to be reserved for STEM type degrees for US citizens not mills to create engineers from imported foreigners to undercut wages.

Fixed it.

"Universities need to be reserved for STEM type degrees."

Unless tech companies are restricted from hiring H1-b-visa foreigners at below normal salaries, a STEM degree won't help much.

“Young people can work in trades and realistic careers.”

Was visiting central america and there was a small community college in a town where we stayed. Our hosts said their studies are strictly for trades, plumbing, electrical, construction, nurse, dental and pharmacy assistants. All classes for careers no liberal arts.

They should be Empty Nester Lifestyle Learning day carecenters. These kids can’t address a proper envelope.
