We don't need free college, we need to acknowledge the fact that the majority of jobs asking for a degree right now don't actually require one to do the job effectively.

Every developer and programmer I know says they learned far more in one summer programming an app themselves than in college. Same with a good amount of medical technicians: they throw a ton of useless nonsense in there to require a degree instead of actually teaching you what you need to know to do the job. IT's is another big one, where now everyone needs a degree to be an "IT specialist", when in reality the specialists are the ones who actually know what firmware for a router does and how to make it work, and the degree requirement mainly hires people who can spot the word "ethics" in an enclosure document.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>We need more evaluation of what jobs actually require before we start pumping out more people with degrees that barely teach them anything regarding their future jobs.<br><br>&#x200B;
