- mucholove 5y agoSo I largely agree with you. A university or college degree for topics such as literature, history, gender studies, etc should not be available to you until you have done been certified in a trade (be that bricklaying, medicine, law or engineering) This is why I highlighted that these sorts of degrees don't need to be done on a campus, full-time unless you're willing to pay for that or have been deemed worthy of a scholarship AFTER having completed a vocation. I do think it would be quite awesome to have these available for free again after having achieved skills that are very valuable in the workplace. Kind of like going to a museum or the way Jews can go on a birthright trip.
