Four years of college shouldn’t be the only gateway to the middle class
Thinking about education reform in the Trump era
Friends,
Trump’s latest idiotic idea of redistributing $3 billion in grant money from Harvard to trade schools, which he posted yesterday, masks a larger and more serious issue.
It’s absurd that a four-year college degree has become the only gateway into the American middle class.
Many high school seniors feel compelled to go to college because they’ve been told over and over that a college degree is necessary.
But not every young person is suited to four years of college.
Some may be bright and ambitious but won’t get much out of college.
An estimated half of recent college graduates are in jobs that don’t even require a college degree.
