All I know is that higher education Is not accessible to all people and that the lower end jobs you're talking about simply turn into something else
Low end jobs that do not require education NEVER disappear
They change but they don't vanish, the job market is living evolving thing
There was a time when secretaries HAD to go to school for fucking typing, we all know those requirements have changed
People without education will survive. That diploma will not be end all, be all on wether they work. It kind of naive to think so.
And I'm not anti education
But I've been alive enough to see how the market grows, declines, and grows again
Companies will always make room for those willing to work for less, we live in America
Thank You
Bruh, my point is that the way we view the markets rising and declining is the problem. There is no coming back from this one. We have fundamentally changed how our financial system works and it's as if no one notices it.
Read the books I posted, read the excerpts I posted. In the FUTURE is what I'm saying.
Check it, over the last three decades american consumption kept rising, but wages weren't rising with them. Where was the money coming from? Brilliant people like mitt romney figured out ways of repackaging debt to make more money. So without actually creating anything, we created trillions of dollars in paper wealth. That's. All. Gone. The rise in the middle class that we saw after WWI has been dying for 4-5 decades. But cheap credit has risen just as fast to upkeep the illusion that we're still earning.
The jobs that have built our middle class (factories, union jobs, government jobs). What has taken the most hits in the last decade-2 decades? Unions are significantly weaker than they were 2 decades ago. Industry has left our shores thanks to free trade agreements, and the government jobs that account for 1/4 of the black middle class are shrinking.
We allowed free trade b/c we assumed that farmers and custodians would be come computer engineers. This isn't me, the crafters of NAFTA had this in mind. Specialization would happen they thoughts. It's the natural progression of economies they thought. Going from industrial to service base they said. But if the education of the population doesn't keep pace you're fucked. It's why there are millions of unfillable jobs in America right now, b/c we don't have the people to fill them.
You wanna show me your business acument? Think globally and act locally. The global economy affects your business. Someone said they own a gift shop. You think anyone's gonna be buying anything from your store when wages stay stagnant and the price of food and cost of living goes up?
Also, how can anyone say that I'm changing my argument? Clearly this is what I've been saying the entire time.
"Muhfuckas gon' need bachelors just to work at target" is what I think I said.
It's funny, in The Servant Economy the author talks about how he foresees a generation of college educated customer service reps until something changes.
But hey, you can take it as a personal affront and belittle what I'm saying. Misrepresent my argument all you want.
