> jobs require significant education and/training after high school.
To the parent's point; Many college degrees are "just a credential" at this point; and college degree or not, training still has to happen on the job.
I see a trend of millennials (my generation) who go to school to go to school, get good grades to get good grades, not apply the education to the future. Then, there's no entry level jobs (because companies didn't have to train with a recession to get experience) and they jump between unskilled jobs they could have done with a GED or less.
We can also see this with the industry survey the other week of employers saying colleges aren't preparing software developers.
Higher education does have advantages for people beyond jobs; but only if they learn (not memorize) and apply it.
