@2a70c54d Too true. I work with a dev just like that. He's not particularly interested in, or passionate about, the tech; just feels like he picked it off a list because it would pay well (not anything particularly wrong with that). 

 @2a70c54d What makes me saddest is that I do think a lot of young people want very badly to learn, to be educated, to reason, but they're under a truly bizarre kind of pressure to get straight As without learning anything, major in moneymaking without developing skills that make money, and spend every waking second earning low-income wages rather than investing time along with money on their future. More students are failing out, which is infinitely more expensive than doing well. 

 @2a70c54d “College has become a cruel expensive joke on the poor and the middle class that benefits only the perpetrators of it. The bloated administrators” 

-Peter Gregory 

 @2a70c54d at some point the college path became a profit center for bankers 

 @2a70c54d my nephew went to one year trade school and walked right into a $26 hour job.  I have a bachelor's and never made $26 hour. 

 @2a70c54d that’s the corrupt GOP’s plan.  Training for corporations financed by student debt
