Baseball for Brown-Noses and Bluebloods
Then the company should pay them in advance to develop the talents that are useful to the company, just like baseball signs up and pays talented 18-year-old to train in the minor leagues, baseball's equivalent of what unpaid and unnatural college education is supposed to do for the corporations.
When I was a pre-teen, the total social value of a kid was how well he played in the Little League. That immediate reward was what made me realize how incredibly different mental talent is treated. Imagine how pathetic our pro baseball players would be if they were limited to those who'd be willing to take out a loan to pay the minor leagues and live like young adults who are afraid to grow up until they made the majors or quit baseball in disgust.
Therefore, at least the most talented students should unionize and force the issue. After the athletes did that, they earned a hundred times more than the pre-union players had. Without figuring out inflation, take an example like 20-game winner Jim Bouton, who got only $18,000 when today he'd get $18,000,000.
