Education Myth.

This is a reply to someone who commented on my article

We don't have an Employment Problem. We have a Skills Problem. Too many out of work people don't have the right skills. You'd think the Government would be opening training centers to match up the unemployed where there are labor shortages.
Excellent point!

I think the trouble is there is more votes in throwing money at those who don't want to work or study hard to learn a career that pays well than there is in fixing what is wrong with the country. Too many think "getting a college education leads to a good job" which is actually putting the horse before the cart. The truth is those who work hard to get a degree in a difficult subject with job prospects (like engineering or biotech) make great employees for any field but those who go to college to get a degree in under water basket weaving so they have a degree to put on their resume are people most want to avoid hiring. The politicians haven't figured this out yet so they saddle up kids with massive student debt for worthless degrees while taking political contributions from the Education Mills that churn out the worthless degrees to get the money backed by taxpayers..
