One thing i cant seem to get my head around is the idea that college should be free. That more people should just expect that after high school college is just grades 13 to X. The majority of jobs are not complicated enough to warrent needing a 4 or even 2 year degree. Does a person really need how ever many credits of history when working most office jobs? It comes off as wrong in some way i cant pinpoint. Some jobs 100% should need special certifications but there is no reason why a person cant just test for the certification independently.
If i am to be very cynical and conspiratorial i would think it was an attempt to push more ideological propaganda but not in any organized or intentional way. The second more likely is just money, and self interest.
The point of “free” college is to make sure people can get good jobs but that was not why colleges were created. That is why public school was created, look at the way schools are set up, they mirror factories for a reason. Seems like people who push for free college should push rather for less college. Too many jobs have insane and unnecessary academic records.
Which is why i bring this up to the sub? Does this make sense to anyone else?
