You cannot effectively make someone with a few years of genuine apprenticeship under a mechanic (for example) take $8/hour to do a miserable job. Yet nobody suggests that we make sure young people have an option like that; we inundate them with busywork that actively prevents it

This is why the whole "everyone should go to college for free" thing is so ridiculous to me. It assumes that education as it stands is the only acceptable way forward in life, instead of encouraging alternative paths to success.
-
I think the whole is more of “everyone should *be able* to go college for free” It assumes that individuals in a society have a certain basic right to education, which they can exercise, if they see no alternatives paths to education that they wish to pursue

3 hypotheses to explain this: 1. worker advocacy groups often are more concerned with their existing constituents (i.e. people who are already members of a union) than with the broader class of people who sell labor for money
-
2. the kind of people who lead worker advocacy orgs are too conflict-theory-oriented to seriously consider that there’s a way to achieve their goals which doesn’t involve getting more concessions from employers

That's better than one size fits all. What would be even better? A system that lets individuals/families decide on a mirad of paths that aren't created by a bureaucracy. (Example: Pianist, Hockey player, Ballet dancer, beer brewer ... etc.)

Good point. In an alternate reality, that could be, we could require every HS student to have an "internship" job as a graduation requirement.
