I think US college education is nearer to collapsing than it appears
I&#x27;m concerned that the majority of &quot;should we fix college or should we circumvent college&quot; conversations don&#x27;t bring up one of the scariest parts of our current economy: STEM jobs are the main viable path for economic stability and freedom.<p>All of the conversations I&#x27;ve seen implicitly assume that this is good, and that the solution to farmer workers (or other low paid workers) escaping poverty is to train them as software developers.<p>We <i>really</i> need farm workers, and most of them live in poverty. I love having more engineers, scientists, and doctors, but we desperately need non-STEM work to be a viable option
