Being considered technically trained does not equal being a reliable or useful worker. Our colleges are giving a lot of degrees to completely useless people.
My niece has a 4 year degree and lives the life of a hippie because she doesn’t want to be chained to a desk. Her whole circle of friends are the same way. They’re too busy exploring their creativity or sexuality and bragging about their education to get tied up with a job in a “socially malignant” corporation they hate.
Frankly if I were looking for an employee, I would turn to my GED holding nephew who goes to work during the hours required of him and doesn’t expect 6 figures for a part time job. He can be trained for a high tech job within reason
The story often is multi faceted.
Spiritually, the US has let devils in the door — and I emphatically do not mean people! I mean literal devils. These are what push people to do counterproductive and evil things.

No kidding. I have worked with people with Comp Sci degrees who know almost nothing about solving software problems. My degree is in Computer Programming so it’s a bit easier for me, but I sometimes wonder what some of these colleges are teaching because it isn’t technical competence.
How many of them have STEM degrees?
