Yes, cleaning toilet is awful, but investing years of your life into a degree before being able to apply is a considerable price, too.

Required training is not likely to be so scarce when people can chose to train without risking starvation or surviving on 4 hours of sleep a night. Which is the real problem most of those with "training" fear. It's devaluation when even poor people can get it without Herculean efforts.
