As a machinist mechanic by trade, higher education needs some serious reform. The idea that youre going to spend four years of your life generating an insurmountable debt only to arrive without a job is bleak. Some of these degrees arent just useless, theyre outright goddamn predatory. The saddest moment in my career was realizing my boss makes a fraction of what I make after he pays his student loans. He still had to pay those loans when the recession hit and he was out of a job for 3 years. That kind of pressure with a wife and kids drives a man to crawl into a bottle.
