Even the ones that come out with supposed skilled degrees they all believe they should be making $200k/year with 0 experience. what happens when free university is given to the masses?
Why as a student would i after 4 years not take a look at the job market, see I can "only" make $60k/year and not want to spend ANOTHER 4 years in school. This way I can help "guarantee" that i will get that high earning job. Then after 8 years have past total and the market has changed making my education useless. I would just simply change my major and continue my education.
Why would I ever work if I believe the system should grant me all my wishes? And when my wishes are not met I will just pound my fists like a little child knowing I will get my way. Never forcing me to take personal responsibility because someone else is to blame.
The entitlement has to stop.

Most people agree that the current public school system needs a serious dose of help. It's not working. Teachers hate it. The product (students) is not that great. Something needs to be done about it.
Why are we talking about free college, for adults, when we can't tackle education for our kids that have no say in the matter?
Let's get our foundation laid soundly before building an out of code factory on top of it.
