So excited to see how some of the progressives respond to this.
University learning is an essential proof of intellectual capability to some on these boards.

Make all citizens less educated. Make all federal employees less educated. This makes things a lot easier for the wealthy, educated cabal at the top

Jobs for Trump's Cultists sounds like a good thing.. Maybe having gainful employment they'll be less likely to riot when he fails to steal the election..

Jobs for Trump's Cultists sounds like a good thing.. Maybe having gainful employment they'll be less likely to riot when he fails to steal the election.. What do you think about what Kamala has pledged? Sounds like something Mike Rowe (Dirty Jobs) has been pushing for.. At every turn, our elected officials have made it clear – people with a college degree are more valuable to society than people without one. And, at every turn, our culture reflects this. The stigmas, stereotypes, and misperceptions that keep people from pursuing a career in the trades are rampant, and no less fallacious than the belief that a college diploma is some sort of golden ticket to prosperity and job satisfaction. Is it any wonder the cost of college has risen faster than the cost of food, energy, real-estate and healthcare? Is it any wonder there’s $1.7 trillion in outstanding student loans today? Is it any wonder we have 11.5 million jobs that nobody seems to want, most of which don’t require a college degree? Is it any wonder the plumber’s neighbor in this satirical, but all too real article, can’t pay off her diploma?
Don’t get me wrong. The biggest victims of this debacle are the millions of hardworking people who paid their bills and lived within their means. I refer both to those who chose not to attend a college, and to those who graduated with a degree they paid for. I refer to the hundreds of people I’ve profiled on 20 years of Dirty Jobs – welders, painters, HVAC specialists, electricians, plumbers, appliance repairmen, mechanics, and so forth. The vast majority of those individuals didn’t attend college. Consider too, the people we’ve assisted through my foundation.

Thanks for that. However I wouldn't make the Mike Rowe comparison. I think each are proposing something entirely different. Mike isn't proposing dumbing down a profession to adequate uneducated, nonprofessionals, however that is what it seems Kamala is proposing. Big difference.

Taking a page out of the Trump-Project 2025 playbook, but with less evil.

The US Educational System has been moving this direction for years. HS students are able to begin college courses before graduating. This means they can have a technical degree a year or more earlier. Nurses have been offered a Bachelor’s Degree in as little as 18 mos. People with a Bachelor’s degree can get their BSN in 18 mos. So, this isn’t really new. Cuts out red tape. Streamlines degree programs. This is smart, necessary & nothing but good for Main St.

My best career move was to start my own business and the only one I didn't need a postgraduate diploma for.

This is a cray cray idea.
I have a better one. Let's fire everyone in the federal government and rehire them under the direct purview of Pres Harris, with loyalty oaths rewarded rather than education or experience.
That should work out well.
