It's very likely we'll see a post-labour society in our lifetimes, one where automation has eliminated the vast majority of jobs, and our society has hopefully transitioned into one where having a job is no longer necessary to achieve happiness or decent living conditions.
And here is yet another policy that goes in the opposite direction, that will make the transition worse, that drums into people that "College guarantees a great career!", with the unspoken backside that if you can't make it through college, you are a failure as a person.
I don't know what to do, how do we reverse all this damage?
I'm not sure replacing "college for everyone" with "or vocational school!" is a solution either, we'll automate all those jobs away, too!
