Who needs education?
Popular sentiment
Higher education is too expensive
Higher education isn’t worth the careers it actually offers
Higher education degrees are pointless
In a way that’s true
We don’t need to train
Doctors
Engineers
Teachers
Architects
Nurses
Molecular Biologists
Physicists
We can just import them
Higher education is cheaper in other countries anyway
We can just let immigrants take all those jobs
They can provide our healthcare
They can design our cities
They can engineer our lights-our factories
They can contract with our government space program
Right?
I don’t have anything against immigrants
And we won’t be bringing tired, poor, huddled masses. We’ll be bringing well educated professionals to do these jobs for us.
I have no problem with that, though I think maybe others do
