  1. As it stands the current education system produces weak, stupid useless people while wasting 12-20 years of people's lives and their youth. Goes doubly so for STEM.(Ask me how I know) If kids were specialized in one engineering field, OR one trade OR law, OR commerce, starting from the age of 11-12, by the time they are 16-20 they would be highly skilled and knowledgeable experts in their (sub)field and would be able to work confidently at a good position from the get go, even if they start at a lower one. They would be able to choose where they work instead of sending their CV to 1000 companies hoping one would hire them. I have two dozen friends, acquaintances and people I know that did what I described above, ditched school as much as possible, never went to university and they got an engineering job either during high school or straight out of high school. By 22-24 they were earning 3-7x the average salary. How did they do that? Well by going to Private Courses and most importantly Self-Educating while not wasting their time in school. Only one had wealthy parents, the rest weren't even middle class. So in conclusion: Yes it is a good thing, so that future generations don't suffer. Hopefully school goes along with it. Unless they reinvent the education system to actually make you a professional expert in a field within 8-10 years.

  2.  @HuhGrant  I have a job I love and sadly it is still work(I'm a software engineer). It's mainly because of how companies operate. Working for yourself is also very stressful, even if you like working in that field. Sadly it's called work for a reason, because it sucks. In a perfect world it wouldn't, but we don't live in a perfect world. That said working a job you like makes you Half NOT work, so it's absolutely better than working something you don't care about or worse hate.
