I’m more concerned about the brain rotting going on here. American students are studying fields like engineering, medicine, and business less in favor of degrees in useless fields. There’s a huge shortage of engineering talent right now in the US; all that limiting the supply to meet that demand will do is encourage the next great tech company to be formed in India.
Proof?
I wouldn’t be surprised if many college students are looking for just four more years of high school, and are avoiding the STEM fields because they don’t believe they will get decent work afterwards (certainly a valid concern). Instead, they pick easy majors with no connection between the “skills” acquired and the incomes they hope to earn...
Fixed it.
