[quote=Anonymous]The system has never worked for everyone. I think it was designed for social conditions that don’t widely exist anymore: native English speaker w/o disabilities from a two parent household with a SAHM, non-college bound because there were lots of entry-level jobs at fair enough wages for 18 year olds with a HS diploma. If you could read a newspaper or cookbook, write thank you notes, and add and subtract enough to balance a checkbook, you were going to survive. Soft skills like being on time and a firm handshake got you a job and your boss had you trained in anything else you needed. My relatives who are late Boomers/early Gen X mostly lack 4 year degrees, but they own houses, nice cars, boats, went to Disney with the kids and take cruises or European tours. Their own kids are shut out of that. So a new education system is needed. More high-tech vocational. Graduate HS with as many CS certifications as you can get.[/quote]
