No, I am not projecting. I went to good schools and had positive experiences in school. It's still an arbiter of competence. Its still failed to hold up even a vestigial "ideal".
And no, the stats say that tradespeople are massively underpaid on avg compared to BS holders. Ofc, no one believes this here since HNs demographics are highly clustered in the bay area where trades people basically just tell you how hard you're going to bend over for them...
- epolanski 4y agoThe US does not have a good education system and you're projecting US system to the norm. I'm European, know our school systems in various countries and it has no resemblance to the ideas you have about education and we don't really have such gatekeeping at college at all. Third, about trades, I've never lived in SF, but I lived in italy/poland/switzerland and even 6 months at OSU in columbus and I've seen that all the time: skilled tradesmen in all these places make MUCH more than average graduate. There's no comparison. I'm 100% sure the average decent carpenter or electrician makes more than a stem graduate in Italy or Switzerland.
