To reiterate what has already been said here. The education system is a joke. Designed to put bums in seats making the unemployment figures look better

When I went thru school those that ultimately went to uni were the very bright ones doing degrees we needed. Doctors nuclear physist engineers nurses etc

Now we have Everyman and his dog getting a degree in basket weaving.

Has anyone needed to get a tradesperson of late. These guys are in extremely short supply. So many kids with the aptitude for trades end up at uni as they were led that way by the highschool system. My son was one of those. Left his engineering degree and entered an electrical apprenticeship. Sparkys in Perth can earn more than a doctor.

The government needs to be throwing money at the trade sector ASAP. example my son had to wait six months to get into his first tafe classes as there are a severe lack of instructors. It’s going to hit Australia like a ton of bricks in the next decade. All the boomers are retiring

It’s not just Oz either. I see the same thing in USA. The trade jobs were presented as a job for stupid people years ago to drive the education industrial complex

it’s an utter disgrace
