higher education is a waste for probably 75% of the population

Well only 30 percent of Americans have a college degree so it seems to me you're complaining about nothing.

I went to college and didn't get a degree. It was absolutely not a waste of money.

Dont know anything about Germany's system, but it's certainly an indictment of our public education system. They're not prepared for college and drop out rates reflect that.

Same here. Mom And dad paid. It was a waste of their money not mine

I think a large percentage just have no business going to college.
Why waste years and thousands on an education when you could of started learning a trade at 16?

The problem is people going to college and getting into debt to get a degree with no job potential.
Not as popular to go to a vocational school or learn a trade but that is where the majority of good jobs are.

that degree as a SJW may make you feel good but don't expect to get paid for it

Because they don't know until they try. That's usually how life works. If everyone knew what their job was gonna be for life when they were 16 that'd be pretty boring.

That's where the majority of good jobs are? You sure about that? Seems like a huge exaggeration.

Well off course everyone doesn't know but many do.
The point is we shouldn't place college on this huge pedestal and put down the trades

But should we be preparing EVERY kid for college?
That's all high school is about is having the grades and right classes to get into college.
Why? Why are we forcing kids who would rather be taking a construction or welding or mechanics classes to take 4 years of English?
Operational needs

No we should not. Every kid isn't meant to go to college. Some people are gifted academically and others gifted mechanically.
