Looking even further back, time was – my parents’ generation, people born in the 1920s – that a high school diploma meant you could make a living, support a family, and buy a house. A modest lifestyle, to be sure, but it was possible. A friend’s father did even better – he was a tool-and-die maker, and lived a comfortable life in Chicago. Back then, the high school diploma meant that, and the college diploma meant you would be a leader of society. Have the skills for work really gotten that much more demanding that now everything’s shifted up 4 years, i.e. you need a college diploma to support yourself and your family, and graduate degrees to be a leader of society? I frankly doubt it. I believe we could teach the skills needed for the white collar occupations so prevalent today easily in high school, and I think businesses are incorrect to think more than high school is needed for most of them. And this extends up the line. I think in part it’s a scam by colleges and the companies that handle college loans, and I think we’ve done ourselves as a society a disservice by buying into (literally!) this manufactured need for education and more education, while ironically becoming more and more anti-intellectual and superstitious.
