  • I know a guy who repairs HVAC systems. He has a high school diploma and a bunch of technical certs. Handy with math but everything else is OJT and training certs. He makes bank. Same with a plumber I know.

    in the US, at least, higher ed is a way to funnel people into debt, the military, both, or (if they fail school but still get the debt) - poverty. something tells me it shouldn’t be this way, no one would design a system to operate this way if the goal was producing educated citizens.

    I’m not cynical enough to buy the ‘schools are just prisons for kids man’ - between the shootings, overreaching bullshit (10 commandments, fear of woke etc.,) and absolute hell for teachers, I gotta wonder: who does all this garbage profit?

    some conservatives want stupid voters, sure, but they also need skilled workers…
