You don’t need a college degree to work in the trades. This is a point of contention because I’ve heard people say many times they don’t want their tax dollars going towards someone’s liberal arts degree. I’m a wastewater operator. I have a degree but allot of the people I work with don’t.
I agree - we need a much higher focus on trades. My education angle wasn’t towards post graduate though. My wife is an elementary school teacher and teachers are underfunded, continually having their curriculum watered down, and we are seeing across the board privatization of education and erosion of the foundation of education itself. That’s diminishing access to education.
