Four year degrees need a re-evaluation. A lot of alternative entry level jobs that are hard to automate exist but they have a reasonable degree requirement. A two year job specific degree and a restructuring of higher education is needed.
- ribosometronome 7y agoWhy only re-evaluate non-high school degrees? Career oriented education could start significantly early. There's no real reason why 16-18 year olds couldn't already be appropriately skilled to work in many fields save individual maturity. My big priority would be ensuring continuing access to education. Schooling that pushes certain students toward skilled blue collar work seems potentially a little classist if folk aren't given the appropriate opportunities to achieve something else, if they want it, throughout life.
- chillacy 7y agoThis is a pretty good point, a lot of the trades are hard for machines to automate: plumbing, HVAC repair, solar installation, etc.

- badrabbit 7y agoI meant for normal 4 year degrees. For example CS!
- anticensor 7y agoI agree. Associate's degrees on Informatics (including intermediate level computer science and introductory MIS) might be useful but do not exist. Associate-level Programmer's degree and Computer Technician's degree do, though.
