Comment on Gen Z job crisis: Maybe there are just too many college graduates now

No this is Republican bs. We’ve all been sold the idea that college is only for earning more money, so anything that threatens that means we have too many people going to college?

Think about how long it’s been since 12 years have been the expected base level of education. I’m not going to look it up but it’s been a long time. Now think about how society has changed, even within your lifetime. It’s gotten way more complicated, being able to think has gotten more valuable. everything has gotten more complex, from voting to bill paying to transportation to pretty much every job. How can we really think the same base level of education is ok?

Current politics is a great example why our base level of education needs to be raised.

Let’s add two years to everyone’s education. We already have the institutions: community college, trade and votech schools, apprenticeships, etc. It’s about time that further education becomes expected. Learn a job, learn to think, improve your potential, while also improving your ability to exist in our society, and improve our society overall. This is our future. This is one of the roads to make america great. Everyone needs 14 years of school as a base level and we will all benefit

My state made those extra two years free for most people, to improve overall public education. Time to make it so for everyone
