Actually, you are wrong. The number of people taking lithium, Haldol , Librium and other psychoactive drugs is at an all time time, all of which are prescribed by their physicians. I don't think that there is a shortage of psychiatric treatment out there by any stretch of the word.
We can't fix the problem by throwing chemicals at it.
But again, the government IS flooding universities with free money.
If they were, there wouldn't be 1.7 TRILLION in Student Debt.
But the students spend freely borrowing and paying in and the Universities have no incentive to push students to STEM degrees that actually provide good jobs and they don't control their own costs, they don't need to. Then they use the money to attack the source of all their own wealth, US businesses. It's pathetic. As are people like you who support it.
Yawn, not everyone is cut out for STEM. They still deserve access to good jobs. Not that the STEM people are making great money, either.
US Business is a parasite that has convinced people it's a vital organ.
Without free flowing government money, fewer people would go to college (which we agree should happen),
I don't agree. I think we should send MORE people to college. Dumb-ass uneducated white people is why we have Trump fucking up everything right now.
the ones who go would be more cost conscious about how long they are there and what they study and the whole thing would become so much more financially sound.
You really expect more out of 19 years olds than they are capable of, but that's another issue.
I have my own solution. 2 years of MANDETORY national service, you get a free ride to college after completing it, and a lot of these kids would have a much better idea of what they want to do with their lives.
And companies would stop requiring college degrees as you said for jobs that really don't require one as people with useless degrees to fill them stopped being so readily available
Again, that displays a profound misunderstanding of why companies ASK for college degrees for most jobs now.
The first is that High School has become, well, basically meaningless.
The second is how job descriptions are put together. If you read a job description, it usually is a list of everything you'd want if you grew a candidate in a lab. Most people don't match this, but it puts the employer at the advantage. You think they'd give up an advantage like educational requirements?
