NEEDS TO CORRECT OUR MISTAKES WITH OUR CHILDREN.
Before you spend four years studying a course at a university, do a Cost Benefit Analysis. Take a course like philosophy. If you study philosophy for four years and you graduate, of what benefit are you to yourself and society? With Google, anyone can understand any aspect of philosophy in ten minutes or less. Then you start saying, 'I don't have a job four years after graduating. The government is useless.' No. It is not the government that is useless. You, right now, I challenge you to name five places you can work and add value with your philosophy, sociology, library science, and other such liberal chewing gum degrees.
Be realistic. Spend half the cost and time to learn nursing, SEO optimising, web designing, coding, programming, machine learning, cloud computing, blockchain, and AI skills. That is a more successful outcome against money spent. Don't study a course that lost relevance in the eighties and then blame the government. Blame yourself. AI, robots and automation are rendering even valuable degrees like accounting, HR management and creative writing close to obsolete, and you are still applying to study sociology to become one out of fifty thousand sociology graduates chasing non-existing jobs.
Fact-check me. Fortune 500 companies in the US are dropping degree requirements in place of skills. Please study a course that is up to tomorrow, not one that belongs in a museum.
Yes, I know what you just read is annoying. But am I lying?
