America’s spending billions training kids for 2008 jobs while millions of $100k+ skilled trades, cybersecurity & AI roles go unfilled. We’ve sold a prestige lie that’s bankrupting a generation. Episode 22 rips the Band-Aid off.
Cory.. . You are so right about our education system. Not only is the public school system and the federal level and the standardized test all seemingly killing the value of our children's education, we are selling degrees to 70% of college graduates knowing that it won't improve their chances of getting a job and certainly won't improve their salary. Admitting that they are wrong, would require reducing the price of tuition and that would require.. well I don't know what that would require.. I just know that it's not going to happen until people actually stop going where the government throws money their way.
I remember when I went to grad school being so burned out after studying my ass off in high school for 4 years and then having a major and a minor as an honors student for my undergrad work and I didn't think I had another two or three years left in me and when I was done, instead of going to law school like I planned.. I said I never want to see a school again... And for what. Unfortunate that my entrepreneurial skill has served me well but nothing has gone as planned because the plan itself wasn't even built correctly
Love this! I've wanted to get into Cyber security, but I've been heavily negligent on progress. 🥲
These are all very solid points! History has a way of showing drastic shifts losing and gaining more jobs. 😊
Our education especially, needs so much more help. They want so much out of our people, yet put large barriers for entry. At least that's my opinion.
Great post! ❤️
