This is entirely because people created this notion that everyone should go to college. The vast majority of jobs don't need specialized education that college is supposed to offer. If you start deemphasizing college as a basic requirement, while simultaneously improving the education system from the bottom up, you will create better outcomes and a more educated population.
Most people don't have college degrees in the US and yet it isn't the case that half of the population is unemployed.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoI don't disagree with you. But convincing jobs to lower their automated HR requirements in a time where they can still hire plenty of college grads seems harder than encouraging post secondary education. Which is already harder than getting proper primary/secondary education. In addition, it seems futile to discourage acedemia from encouraging students to remain in their bubble. It goes against their best interests. I'm simply talking about the path of least resistance. We're well past the times where you walk into a mom and pop shop and grab a job in a few days time. At least in Metropolitan areas.
