don’t forget how undergrad has just become a weird waiting period for most professional degrees. Pre-med, and pre law are doing so little for folks who actually enter either professsion

Plus tons of fake non-professional Master’s Degrees from elite universities that are less rigorous than most high school classes but require undergrad to limit themselves to mid-career executives, because if we allowed teenagers to take them the scam would be revealed

It’s not just the “government” - plenty of professional careers don’t actually need degrees but companies still demand them. I don’t have a bachelors and I’m very lucky to have gotten as far as I have in my career despite there’s really no rational reason anyone *needs* one

agree, but the government piece is something we could easily remedy

Not true, in CA legal apprenticeship is a thing and you can become a lawyer the way Abraham Lincoln did.

People have become so thoroughly comfortable with being parented that they cannot imagine an alternative force for shaping society other than government policy or corporate culture (Hollywood, legacy media, social media influencer). Just gotta help em imagine
