Good Jobs Don't Always Require College

About 60% of jobs in 1950 did not require special skills. According to ETS, Educational Testing Services, there were plenty of jobs for those looking for work requiring no special abilities.

Now about 80% of jobs are considered skilled and need training, not all of which are available to high school graduates.

This is a fault of high schools. You don’t need a college degree for most non technical work positions. You would not, if K-12 standards in English and mathematics were adequate.

We send non-scholarly kids to expensive college where they become useless graduates. All we have to do is train them for useful, profitable work while in high school. They can go on to master good paying jobs once they have the basics. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole tweets.)
