That is not the reality of it unfortunately. Might be a side gig for teenage you, but not everyone has the education or network to do better.

- thrower123 7y agoThat is the tragedy of the next couple decades that needs to be solved. What do you do with the increasing share of people that do not have the capabilities to be productive in the economy?

- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoWhich profession? All of them? Who pays for that sort of support in school? And given that there are only so many hours in the day, what do we lose? Do we need even more of our soft skills and arts removed as we build a society solely around getting people into a career and keeping them there? Are we OK with people who don't understand history or geography because they don't need really need those skills as plumbers? And wasn't a high school education good enough 50 years ago for most positions? Companies have been able to force the burden of debt for gaining the skills required for a job onto the individual, through exorbitant college fees and unpaid internships, now you're advocating the government should take on the specialization that the private industries require? As a college student one is barely able to figure out their interests - there's so much push to start planning well in advance, I have no idea how we can expect a tween to commit to a career path.

- cooljacob204 7y agoJust because it's a low skillcap job does not mean they are being unproductive.
