The school to work program was a way to tie current students to future jobs. Only problem is that they determined at an early age what you were going to be when you grew up and educated you accordingly. This would be based on supply - assesments of students in grade school, and demand - database of projected workforce demand from business, etc. It sounded an awful lot like the old Soviet system.

It sounded an awful lot like the old Soviet system?

I disagree. It doesn't sound "an awful lot" like it. It sounds identical to the centrally planned state-controlled socialist "planned economy."

I have a book on it that goes through it line by line and compares it to citations from Soviet documents. You are correct. I was being generous.
