Education was never supposed to be job training. Somewhere along the way, society decided that a degree is basically just a ticket to employment, and that completely broke the system.
If you go back in history, engineers, doctors, teachers, builders, merchants, none of them had bachelor’s or master’s degrees. They learned because they wanted to solve problems, master a craft, or contribute something useful, often through free institutions, mentorship, or apprenticeships.
There wasn’t this forced idea that a certificate should automatically be tied to a salary.
Education should be free everywhere, not just because it helps with careers, but because learning has value on its own.
A degree was never meant to guarantee a job, and honestly, that expectation needs to die.
At the same time, jobs also need to stop obsessively asking for degrees and start adapting to actual skills and competence instead.
But realistically, that probably won’t happen anytime soon.
