  1. This divide between people receiving higher education and academic achievement is simple. There's a lot of trash being taught in university. If you're getting a degree in, say, Engineering, that's a useful skill with high academic qualities. If you're getting a degree in, for example, gender studies, that doesn't really translate into any real career field. Philosophy majors pretty much have the career of teaching philosophy. We need to refocus education back into more useful and productive skills and less on navel-gazing. Engineering, medicine, computer sciences, agriculture, general science, journalism, law all need to be more focused upon. Technical schools need to be made more accessible and less stigmatized as well.
