Why would 60% of our HS graduates need college edumacations? What jobs are they going to do? Are they going to water the value of a degree that much? Are you going to need a BA to operate a fryer?
Got a better idea. Unless you’re going to be a scientist or engineer, to heck with college. Rebuild the vocational education system. Teach ‘em to build stuff. There is money in being a good mechanic, plumber, mason, carpenter, etc., and we need them!
I agree that an investment in vocational education makes more sense. We need good plumbers, lab techs, etc.
