At one point a factory job would have been considered a good job. In modern times, they're on the low end. What counts as a "good job" is relative to the current standards of living and so you can't naively compare across timescales.

But the point is that we can't do away with K-12 schooling. Subsistence farming was, is, and will be a bad job.
