Do you think high skill trades aren't an education? I don't think they are saying anything against a traditional university education, but more supporting skilled trades as well.
My mistake, they did say "instead of free college". I think we could probably support both if we raised the standards a bit.
Well we spent 30 years valuing college... How did that work out?
Anyone who had a social security and blood pulse could go to college and that's what happened.
1/3 failed out,1/3 doing jobs which don't require a college degree.
1/3 benefited to varying degree.
Do you think we needed note millennials in college.
I am not a conservative wtf... my body of work speaks for itself. What are you basing this clown take on?
This is benefit in the room with us right now?
All I see is increasingly improvised and indebted population, working longer hours, getting less benefits... people are not forming families. People can't afford rent.
Now show me this benefit you are talking about, dear!
Debt slavery which solid part of millennials is currently suffering.
cute
Who is this "we"? Are you owner of a company? Because I am not, I made not such decisions. Did you you?
Employers start pushing for this shit starting 40 years ago and people respond as manufacturing jobs go eroded. so THEY made it a requirement for secretary needing an English major... trying getting that job with out a BA lol
Americans have marginal impact on any policy fed government pushes.
Colleges collude with industry to create debt slaves here though
If we’re talking about altering society on a mass scale, you’re damned right I care about measurable outcomes.
I value freedom. I value economic consent. If you’re going to use centralized power to forcibly trade me something else for a loss of those two, the the other thing needs to be measurable.
You were characterizing what I value, as a conservative. I’m agreeing; I’m not interested in “qualitative benefits”, that are not also quantifiable. Use of government power to alter the world must be justified with measurable metrics.
The problem is that there are not enough well paying jobs to support this "educated" population esp with a ton of debt.
China created a booming solar industry by subsidizing it heavily. We can do that too with other industries, and the subsidy can come in the form of trades education.
Obama subsidized solar too... What do we have to show for it?
Again, why should impoverished taxpayer subsidize the capex of property owner? In free entperise and private capitalist society why is we paying here?
No, we poured tons of government money into making college accessible. I went to college on loans designed for that purpose.
We valued college and we backed the notion with hard cash. Well, with forced loans.
It drove the price of college through the roof though. Just like housing, just like medicine, just like all the other things we provide government money to help people get.
It’s a consistent pattern. People don’t trust the free market, something is deemed too important to let the market handle, so we pump government money into purchasing assistance and, predictably to anyone who’s taken macroeconomics 101, the prices of those things skyrocket and the availability drops.
