    the pitch for community college is so easy: Do you want to not pay $400/month for 15 years? Go to community college.

    if big tech co's want to make the world a better place, normalizing and supporting affordable community colleges isn't a bad idea

    In sum, the high paying jobs we have demand more skills than ever. Debatable whether 4 year college degree is always the best way to get those, especially given how financially stressed most students are already. (Underfunded) community colleges + tech co's are one solution. 7/7

    One of the biggest barriers to getting a degree aimed at getting you a job in "mid-skill tech job" is that there's still a disconnect between what companies say they want and what they actually hire. (Still a bias toward 4 year degree holders). 6/

    Community college costs on average less than half an in-state 4 year school. More importantly degree programs take half as long, or can be built around working simultaneously. This path is hard though. 5/

    30% of people with associate's degrees out-earn people with Bachelor's degrees. 1 in 3! Would no doubt be higher if more people saw an AA as end in itself, not prelude to 4 year degree (outcomes on using it as onramp to 4 year degree are generally not great) 4/

    Is the college/high school wage gap because of a skills difference? Or is college just an expensive "signal" that you've got grit and, frankly, the wealth + family recources to make it through. Lessons of community college suggest it's kinda the latter. 3/

    In some kind of halcyon past you could walk onto a factory floor and work your way up, also the wages were relatively good. No more. Now you need some kind of post-high school degree. Those with college degrees do *way* better than just high school degrees, but why? 2/

    Quick thread on how to solve: 1) the problem of Millennials' lack of wealth relative to previous generations 2) the "skills gap" that has left hundreds of thousands of tech jobs in the U.S. unfilled 3) the $1.4 trillion student debt bubble

    Something I hope someone explores: Suspect in horrific Maryland shooting was IDed by a facial recognition system in use since 2011. Yes, it's scary that police can identify us anytime they like from surveillance footage. But also, there is a reason they want this ability.
