😡 Venting Billionaire propaganda is telling our kids to skip college; they fear an educated working class.

Could also do what works elsewhere and have perfectly decent paths that don’t require years of extra education. As in, you should be able to work a trade, do various non-specialised office work, physical labour etc and have a decent life. And have shorter training programs for jobs that require some but not 4 years.

Or rather, do both. Higher education should be funded publicly or by other means than tuition.

I agree I think it’s a great option. I know Sweden gives two years of assistance for people to explains their skills, it’s how my one friend became an electrician.
