I agree. The losers in this are the people who want but can’t work and also those who have never found the joy and value of work in their lives.
But in the context of this thread, it seems like it’s focused on people who chose the wrong major or path to follow when they were 18 years old.
Can a kid be blamed for their chosen path at that age.
I’ve seen horrible parental and guidance counselor guidance given to young people and I mean horrible, wretched advising. Things like girls aren’t good at math, play football and study basket weaving, you’re not good at school, you’re smart, you should be a doctor and study engineering or business and paint or sculpt or writing as a hobby.
These are all well intentioned but rarely is advice like this custom tailored to the individual being spoken to. Advice sounds many young people down roads they later regret in life.
Also, the work world is so much more rigid and risk averse and cheap than ever. Entry level jobs require experience and training, companies no longer train employees and nobody takes a chance on people anymore. Can an English major manage a company’s supply chain? Probably but the number of companies that would take that chance are almost nil versus 25 years ago when having a degree was an accomplishment in its own right which it isn’t anymore.
