Awesome :)

Would this model work for any high paying industry that’s growing? Retraining in general strikes me as a huge market eg does (say) biotech require too much background knowledge, and therefore too much tuition floated, to work at the same scale?

My gut feeling is that ideal jobs for this are ones where even 5% through the curriculum you can do some paid work. E.g. if there are 50 common handyman jobs, once you learn to do even one of those, you can be paid to do that specific type of job in the field.

I think something that'd be interesting to do is train people enough to be research assistants in science fields. Granted it'd be pretty difficult, but if you can train them well enough to assist, eventually they'd get enough experience on the job to progress further, if slowly.

Yes! My first job was physician’s assistant at a veterinary clinic. They hire high school grads. I was testing GPS satellites freshman year and research assistant (programming for them) in a bioinformatics lab sophomore year. The bars are surprisingly low

The idea that we should have every single researcher learn by years of college is silly. There'd be so much more done faster if we allowed people to learn on-the-job in research fields.
