Alternatively, cap the price of tuition for childcare degrees?
People get degrees for leverage in wage negotiation, and to further their career. Advising against is anti-worker, imo.
The real crime is unattainable education.

If the content is so important have a certification exam. That fulfills the purpose of driving down supply of workers so they get paid more. Same as requiring a degree but without giving money to universities. Obviously this is bad for those who want to buy childcare, just like the degree requirement.
This is such an USA point of view… University is free here.
> Requiring degrees is anti-worker because it places a cost on them.
Education being paid from taxes means the price is not paid by worker. I am ok paying tax and education being paid from the tax. Not everyone is full on allergic to the word tax.
Somehow the taxes pay for it thing never comes up with these.
Not really, you can get loans with very low interest rates and you don't have to pay them back until you make a high enough salary.
But yeah it's not perfect (still better than the USA system).
I'd rather leave my kids to people that are educated rather than to people who are improvising and will never become experienced because they will change jobs ASAP because they aren't paid enough.
I don't see a conflict between having a decent salary and not having a university education. I wrote a paper at university showing that a majority of all university degrees in my country doesn't pay itself. You miss out on too much money and experience during the years you are studying. There are exceptions, naturally, but I don't believe everyone should need a university degree.
This is the kind of thing one can learn as an elective during high school and graduate with an additional certificate.
Maybe one or 2 years of vocational school.
