"Follow up questions destroy me."
No, the fact is
College is (used to mainly) to teach you a higher trade,
Not all "trades" are equal in value to society
its the students best choice to go for one that is in high demand, so they can easily get a job cuz its in high demand
not a field that "sounds nice"
which is what most are doing now
Ever heard of a college boasting a high hiring rate, and then striking a deal with the companies to fire them after a certain time to keep putting freshblood through the cycle?
Just so they can half-legitimately have the high hiring rate?
I have not, but i wouldn't be surprised
Well GOSH.
Wouldja look at that, something that isn't the college students fault.
Do you think there might be more?!
O:
thats why high-demand jobs are so nice, cuz you can just roll onto the next company 😉
Those change over time.
And you know what takes a lot of time?
A DEGREE.
I should know, i have one in IT 😉
What may be in demand right now, may not in a few years.
This didn't waver so rapidly in the past.
It does now.
Nervous people are easy to sell snake oil.
A cure for all that ails ya
I bet this next response will suck.
fair point,
Not a high demand job
A job for high productivity to society
which incidently is also high demand 😄
Well then.
There aren't many jobs in high demand.
oh yes there are
When people make arguments that automation will open new fields: No it won't.
Maybe to engineers.
if they weren't, the west wouldn't be importing them en masse
But engineering is so tough, only a fraction of the population can be them.
So who are we kidding.
thats why there are levels of engineering
You don't have to build rocket-ships
I think you misunderstood what I just said.
Engineering is not that hard
Yes it is.
Engineering as a study is hard
Engineering as a trade, is not
Nah. I don't think I'm that smart and I have an engineering degree
