You tube can replace school in a heartbeat....

With today's remote schooling...
And standardized curriculum...

It's a wonder why they don't make all children watch the same videos for education. Maybe a few special Ed teachers locally....it would save a lot of money.

The problem with youtube is that a lot of kids need to be motivated to study. This is a massive part of a teacher's job. Without the motivation a lot of kids will simply fall behind.

A library card could replace a university too but that won't get your passport to life stamped.

Anyway, I am open to hybrid or innovative educational models, but there isn't going to be a one size fits all alternative to traditional education.

Good teachers utilize the heck out of resources like this, absolutely.

A youtube video will not teach a 6 year old to read.

Not every child needs a college education.
Not every person needs to have a desk job.

Plumbers make a good, solid living...not one that requires a college education.
Same with auto/diesel/aircraft mechanics.

Skilled trades make just as good or better than most of these "office jobs". And there's less competition in them as far as office politics type stuff. From service trades to skilled trades there's a need for the workers... even still a shortage of these people. Skilled electricians are becoming scarce. And as our love affair with electricity only is growing...we don't have enough electricians...what we do have is aging out of their careers.

So what if some people aren't college material...plenty of work and needed skills elsewhere in the economy. From fishing boats to Tractor trailer drivers to crane operators/riggers we need a workforce of regular people that aren't made to feel belittled because they don't have a "college education" that doesn't pay anyway.

Normal, average people with unique talents and that have character have been the bread and butter of our economy for centuries...not a bunch of educated idiots navigating office politics like it's still the playground at school.

We used to make heroes out of the "regular guy" who had character and courage of his convictions....a part of something bigger than yourself. It was respectable.

Engineers are great...but they forever keep making paper mistakes. (Like trying to put 3 4" boxes inside of a 5" wall post at the same elevation)

Apparently nobody needs to get a job anymore anyways since the government just throws out money like crazy. Pretty soon kids will graduate without even needing to go to school as it's basically the same thing.

Not true. Trades are a fine living. Can you find someone killing it? Yep. On average a new colleg grad is making way more than trades.

This jumps to $63,235 for individuals with five to nine years of experience, and to $76,707 for individuals with 10 to 19 years of experience. This means that in their first 10 years out of college, individuals with a bachelor's degree can expect an estimated $32,112 in raises.

The average skilled trades salary in the USA is $47,500per year or $24.36 per hour. Entry level positions start at $35,720 per year while most experienced workers make up to $69,160 per year.

Quick riddle for you...

What do you call a plumber with ten years of experience?

A contractor

What do you call an electrician with 10 years of experience?

A contractor.

Most of the skilled trades become self employed after 10-20 years...they get kids to do the work. At a minimum they become the foreman or superintendent.

They fall off the board because they become the employers instead of employees.

Just saying....

Replace This Obsolete Aristocratic Institution With Highly Paid Professional Training

College is work without pay. The fact that the ruling class can get away with something so slavish, insulting, unmotivating, talent-blocking, and unproductive shows how much they control our minds. Saying that they create jobs is like saying that vampires create blood.

College Graduates Have No Right to the Jobs They Get Through Humiliating Themselves to Please the Economic Bullies Who Mandate Unpaid Education

All that shouldn't matter to the rest of us if Diploma Dumbos don't do the quality of work that merits such salaries. The only thing these no-talent brown-noses learn is "how to do" a job, just like most American boys learn "how to" play baseball but can't even make their high-school teams.

My wife and I have been discussing how true leadership is missing from the management teams and has been for so long that they don't know how to recognize potential leadership anymore.

This is beyond the "influencers" of the internet or repeating sycophant corporate lines...true leadership comes from understanding of how to do the job while understanding those who work for you and leading them with "servant leadership".

Meaning that you understand and believe that most people want to do a good job and receive credit when doing it. That dominating people with your position doesn't cut it or ever work out. People want to advance...and that doesn't necessarily mean that they should have your job...but some form of recognition for their accomplishments and reliance upon their skills.
No schoolyard games of who is the biggest suck up...

And believe it or not... that type of leadership causes magic in the workplace of outstanding performance and loyalty. The very things that most management teams want but are only able to get lip service that resembles that instead of true loyalty and performance.

Like with most things, it depends. I know people who started in construction and went on to own their own construction company and yes they are "killing it" by any measure. I also know people who graduated with technical degrees in computer science and engineering and they have a net worth of near zero.
