Everybody agrees that society needs plumbers, electricians, nursing care workers, etc.. yet nobody wants *THEIR* kid going into a trade, they all want college.
Would have liked to have heard Daniel Markovits interviewed.
Only send actually clever people to college
Top 25% IQ at most.
To only do STEM subjects or others where they will earn $80k p.a. by age 30 at latest. So of value to the world.
120 IQ is 90th percentile, what some consider the cut-off needed to succeed in STEM. Make graduating with a STEM degree (coursework that involves Math, Physics, and Philosophy) free.
IQ is a totally flawed way of measuring for intelligence.
It's like you almost didn't even listen to what this guy was saying whatsoever
