Right! I say take it a step further - not everyone is excited by sitting in front of a computer and doing intellectual exercises. People like different things and are suited to doing different things as well. But if there is only one way forward, which is Engineering, Medicine and Law - then you have essentially recreated 1970s India and China. But this is 2025 - not only do we have automation we have GenAI, which threatens to take away tons of low level service work. Education is something that takes years to result in blooms. Decades of nurturing. (Hey - thats a useful analogy. Societies plant and harvest crops of trained professionals.) Can people discuss these difficult topics? Nope. Besides, if you do - people start becoming more “liberal”, “disconnected” from ground reality. Code for people not voting the way leadership would like.
