And everyone has the curse of the "education" system. It wastes 12-20 years of people's lives and wastes their youth, while producing weak, stupid useless people. This goes doubly so for STEM.
If kids were specialized through private courses and most importantly self-education, from the age of 12, in one engineering field, or one trade, or law or commerce, by the age of 16-20 they would be highly skilled and knowledgeable experts who would be able to work at a medium level position in their (sub)fields.
I know a few dozen people, many of which close friends and acquaintances, that by the age of 22-24 are earning 3-7x the average salary, by ditching school as much as possible and doing what I described above.
