There's no doubt that way too many people get degrees that do little to nothing wrt getting jobs, and most countries in the West would benefit greatly if the status and quality of trade schools had been improved.

 

And people need to stop looking down on people who go to trade schools rather than college.

 

But yeah, agree.

Never in my life have I needed or used a Harvard graduate for anything in life.

 

Doctors, Engineers can all be educated at the State University system.

 

I have needed skilled carpenters, plumbers and a good auto mechanics to name a few.  Those are the people that America great.

 

Harvards leftists indoctrination center has no value.

'Murica is great?? Why don't you tell that to Don and his disciples because they sure as heck don't agree.

You mean an old school Republican from back before they turned it into a Jim Jones 2.0 s*** show? Well, I was never that far away (except on various social issues) anyway. Always a centrist.

And my family are under strict orders that if I suffer brain damage and turn MAGA they must shoot me immediately.😆

I was on the other side - old school classical-liberal Democrat.  Same same - centrist with a left-lean - back in the day.  Which makes me a far-Right MAGA fanboy now according to some here.  <laughs>

Or Canada and UK

A variation on a theme:

Give me your young, your well to do,
Your brightest yearning for this day,
When higher skills they will accrue,
Send these, first class Air China to the UK
At immigration please, front of the queue
.

Trump’s ‘act of self-harm’ could accidentally save UK universities

British universities have spent the last year slipping into crisis, cutting jobs and courses as the falling value of tuition fees combined with a drop in international students created the perfect storm.

British higher education leaders expect significant flows of foreign students to be redirected towards the UK following Trump’s extraordinary attempt to limit US institutions’ ability to recruit students from abroad.

Some Chinese students who were bound for the US have already decided to come to the UK to study instead, The i Paper has been told.
