The U.S. Navy has seen its ship production drop to a 25-year low, falling behind Chinese production even as the service faces increasingly complex threats around the world.
Personally I’d prefer if we didn’t have to hyperfocus on one specific skill, where demand could suddenly dry up at any moment for any number of reasons, to have to support ourselves.
A huge factor in our stagnation is that we promise people stability if they do this one thing… then we have to cater to that one thing for the next fifty years because they now have no other way to support themselves. So we keep pandering to coal miners and corn growers and whatever else.
Education should not be tied this closely with economy. It should be about growing and expanding our horizons, our ability to better understand the world around us and the people around us. Not about how best to be stuck in the same career for the next 50+ years.
Most agree. Corn is a little different as are most food crops. They’re fairly versatile in what they can be used for but otherwise I agree
I’ve done many things in my life by my core education for the most part was the binding factor.
My core education allowed me to explore many things while still being tied. Now liberals mock me because I’ve explored many things but doesn’t that make life fun?
