“We need to figure out how to bring back on the job training and improving the high school diploma so that a graduate is really ready to work.”
It is absurd that we have reached the point that a person needs a degree just to have a CHANCE of being able to make a living. A bachelor degree is worth much less in the job market now than a high school diploma was worth when I turned eighteen and actually represents far LESS of an education. Education now is a scam.
It is, especially when you consider that a person has to be deliberately non-productive during his education process when he could be productive during those years, while learning, instead.
