Just Tossing This Out There:
If One Expects To Make A Decent Living,
They Also Must Have A Decent Education Or Training.
And Millions Have Neither, Because One Leads To The Other.
So When We Hear These Reports Of Inequities, We Need To Ask Ourselves
"Why Is That" ? ~ "Who Wrote The Article"? ~ And " Who Sponsored It"?
THEN We Have Some Additional Information, Which Might Make It WORTH Think About.

To get a decent education you have to have the means to pay for it. My oldest son is fortunate because he attended a trade high school. Got an apprenticeship before graduation. Now working for an international company and attending college

Many Options And, Of Course, Money Never Hurts.
As For Myself, I Never Finished The 9th Grade And, Only By Chance,
I Relieved The Majority Of Mine During My Enlistment Through The
United States Armed Forces Institute.~ aka U.S.A.F.I. .... But There's Nothing
Wrong With Using Your Library Or Your Computer To Find The Programs You Want
To Study & Get Your Education There;~ "Self Educate".~ College Degrees Might Help If Becoming Employed Might Be Required One, But They're Not Necessary, Otherwise. I Lied My Azz Of And Was Employed By F.M.C. As An Industrial Purchasing Agent, Then Promoted To Purchasing Director Over 3, Whom I ASSUME Actually Did Have A College Degree; One Important Thing I've Discovered, As I'm Fairly Certain Many Others Also Have: ~ "Never Confuse 'Having A College Degree' With 'Being Educated"; They DO NOT Necessarily Go Together. ~ Which May Account For The Term "Educated Idiot" ~ Perhaps You've Read Posts From Cpl. VIC BURK, He's Unquestionably The Best Teacher Of Mathematics In Tennessee; Vic Put It This Way: ~ "IF You DO NOT Want To Learn, NOBODY Can MAKE You ~ But, IF You WANT To Learn, NOBODY Can STOP You". ~ And THAT, My Good Man, Is The 100% Absolute Unvarnished Truth.~~ Education Is ALWAYS Available ~ Therefore Being Uneducated Appears To Be By Choice. No Excuses

LOL ~ I Know, I've Had A Couple Of Them Working For Me A Few Times.
That's Also One Of My Pet Peeves With Out K-12 Public Schools. ~~ Consider This For A Moment: "After Students Completed The 6th GRADE, What Additional Education Do They Receive From 7th - 12th Grade, Which Enhances To Their Ability For Employment"?
Quite Frankly I See None. .. Just More Of The Things They Were Learning Up To The 6th Grade.Actually, At No Point In My Life Have I Regretted Leaving School & Enlisting In The USAF On My 17th Birthday ~~~ Because THAT'S Where I Achieved The Education I DID Need, Public Schools Wastes The Students Time & The Tax Payers Money
