College is not worth it.

But public high schools are a joke.

We have failed the poor and working class especially young men of all backgrounds.

At one point, you could graduate high school OR even not graduate and get a good job that let you buy a car and move out of your parents house.

Within a few years you could save up and buy a starter home for a family.

Until there’s meaningful reinvestment into public school education that helps young men obtain the skills to become gainfully employed at 18 years of age as an apprentice or junior anything in a meaningful career then we’ll continue to have problems with wealth inequality, crime, drug use and apathy.
