The truth is that most people don’t go to school out of a desire to learn. At least not mostly. They do it out of a desire to earn a living, to be able to get decent jobs.

If getting the degree is just a certificate to allow you to get jobs, that’s all a lot of people will care about.

We need a system of apprenticeship. Some school, yes, but we have over indexed on school and forced it into a role for which it is ill suited.
