That's a total strawman.
Not really. It's probably not a terribly popular sentiment on a site for web-based hacker startups, but there are plenty of jobs that actually require some sort of meaningful education. Most of the medical system is composed of such jobs, as are large chunks of the legal system. Government bureaucracy (while the benefits of having a degree in such a job may be questionable) commonly requires them, at least in Canada. The government is not a small employer.
50% may well be excessive, but there are a huge number of jobs out there that demand a degree.
- mynameishere 17y agoYes, really. You're responding to something that wasn't said.
- jerf 17y agoWho said "Hey, let's do away with higher education entirely, such that doctors won't have an education?" Total strawman. Thinking there's too many people going to college is not the same as thinking nobody should go to college, and you're not helping anybody with anything by conflating the two.
