What if we stopped relying on higher education with its high tuition fees to produce skilled workers, and instead focus on community colleges and K-12 education?
- rscho 7y agoI also agree with that. We could also ask parents to actually educate children, but it seems that's too much to ask.

High tuition colleges only exist prey on low-talent people trying to buy fake credentials. Anybody talented enough to learn from a college what they can't learn at a lower priced college, can get a scholarship to that college.
- agent00f 7y agoAll education is inherently time/resource consuming and thereby expensive. What many are proposing here is expending that into trade schools/edu, which I suppose makes sense for what most coding consists of. But what's most revealing is this insistence on the public shouldering that burden instead of employers who reap the benefits investing into the training.
