[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this a great thing?  With exorbitant college costs and saddling people with loans, we are discouraging generations of Americans from going to college.  We are punishing Americans for getting an education.

Conservatives want us in a race to the bottom.  I fail to see how any of this is a great thing.[/quote]

This is exactly what needs to happen. There is insufficient market forces to dissuade people from going to six layer directional universities and dog crap private schools. These kids need skills that will make them productive. Not a four year holding tank of compete BS.

All the liberal professors are in on the gig too. Let’s get them to do some real work. We have an infrastructure problem. Have them build the bridges and actually be productive for once. [/quote]

The problem is y'all raising your kids to think these type of jobs are beneath them. Then, we don't want to pay decent wages for some of these technical jobs. [/quote]

I think you completely missed the point. I wasn’t speaking only to vocational type jobs - most of which are very lucrative if you any amount of business sense.

75% of college/“university” education in the US is a complete waste of time. None of what these kids are learning helps them with their “college educated required” careers. And, that isn’t “gate keeping.” Nobody needs a college education to do most white collar jobs these days. You need to know how to operate a computer and not be an idiot. As it turns out, our education system seems to promote being an idiot and having a distinct lack of any critical thinking skills.

We are living in idiocracy. I’m wondering then the brawndo is going to show up in drinking fountains.
