Some people think that education might be important for the jobs of the future. Qualifying for university is an option on such a future.

Other people think fuck the future, we need more people taking a career path that starts as a dishwasher right now.

Very few of these other people will question "what was wrong with the dishwasher we had?"

Read the fine print tho: "Due to lack of migrant workers." What's that again? Lack of migrants you say? Whatever could be causing that?
