I think this guy is missing the point. What we need are jobs, all kinds of jobs, factory jobs, mechanics, small businesses, people making things, people using tools, people working together. For many of those jobs college is not an advantage. The huge money spent on a college education would be a waste and a lot of the people would not make it through unless they took basket weaving or ethnic or gender courses. The whole academic system needs revising, starting with the curriculum in grade and high schools. We had it mostly right years ago. This current mess is just not working.
