The older I get the more I think we should stop plowing money into colleges

and put it into vocational education.

Colleges seem to produce too many college idiots that can't really do anything. It's certainly not necessary to make a decent income and take care one's self.

College is only necessary if one wants to get a marketable degree in STEM or some other needed field. We have enough useless philosophy majors to send to every undeveloped are on the planet, including California.

We need more people that can actually do things.

There's also another thing. Many of these vocational students go on to become entrepreneurs by opening their own small businesses.

What's interesting is my information goes back to the 60s because a classmate of mine went to a Vo-Tech. He said that it wasn't all in the shop, half of his education took place in the classroom and an awful lot of the classroom time was spent on classes about running a small business.

Many Vo-Tech grads go on to opening small businesses which should go back to being the backbone of this country.
