But if people are choosing to go into a trade, are they choosing IT as that trade?

When I hear people talking about going to trade school over college, I expect them to go into technical fields where their trade certifications are enough to get by on.

I can see that having a college degree may be a benefit at getting a job at your company, but would you recommend that people go to college to work at your company? Based on your numbers, a college degree only turns a 1 out of 4 chance to a 1 out of 3 chance of getting a job.

Even if you aren't, the tolerance of executions is pretty high.

A country has to execute a lot of people per year to suffer some form of international consequences.

I feel more like, for a lot of voters, climate change isn't the reason to vote for or against someone while it absolutely a wedge issue for people in industries that cause climate change.

The value of a degree doesn't drop because more people get one,

It absolutely does. Part of the reason lawyer pay collapsed was because of the proliferation of law colleges that increased lawyer supply.

It happened to be that there was an increase in demand for college degrees in the later 20th century which countered supply, but the labor premium of having a college degree over a trade certification has dropped significantly over the past generation.

A lot of millennials went to college and chose specific degrees due to the promise of a higher wage. That wage difference isn't there anymore.

I'm not that surprised. The value of a college degree has decreased substantially as more people have gotten them.

I know the education quality for drafting has been so bad that the field has shriveled up over the past few decades as they've pushed more engineers and architects to do their own CAD.

I would rather have a poor attempt at setting up a system to prevent genocide than none at all.

If you look at autism and ADD, it has taken over a decade of communication about what it is and how to interact with people with those conditions. Even then, there is still some ableism regarding those conditions.

I haven't seen anywhere near that level of communication for what to do with people with those conditions.

Honestly, the best country to approach this would be China, and I don't think China would want to deal with the risk of building infrastructure.

But it helps to have a marketing slogan to get others to understand that this is a bad thing. They built a facility for people to go and die in. Might as well call it Auschwitz.

 

It is amazing how little some people think through what the strategy is of doing anything. It isn't a technical skill; it is just knowing what sequence to do things so I can put in the least amount of effort.

I'm not even that great at board games.
