The idea that every lazy dumb ass flunky can be made into a productive college educated professional with the right amount of someone else's money is a leftwing fantasy.That two years also includes trade and technical schools
Nothing wrong with haveing an educated workforce to compete globally
Then it should ONLY include Trade and Technical schools. If the goal is to make us more competitive, then specifically tailor it to that.
don't make it another giveaway for layabouts to take courses in "Art History" or some such shit.
What would make you think that most students want to take Art History?
What makes you think they don't?
The problem with the universalization of college is that it becomes increasingly meaningless.
The only reason why most companies require a bachelor's degree now is because the HS Diploma has become so worthless. It's completely going in the wrong direction.
When I went to college 35 years ago, most students went for serious degrees
When my son went a few years ago, most students went for serious degrees
The idea that college students are only interested in frivolous degrees is a rightwing fantasy
Nobody has proposed that every lazy ass flunky go to college. Community College would not be mandatory like High School is
Those who are motivated enough to pursue advanced education will have it available to them
