There is now the premise that the wealthy elitists don't want us to be educated beyond high school anymore. it gives them toto much competition. They need less educated people to do the work they don't want to do. More and more, as these things become unobtainable, people are going to become angrier and angrier. Especially in the U.S. The pot is simmering more and more nowadays and it won't take much to set it to boil over.
I was one of the luckier ones, able to pay a domestic student's fee for Canadian public universities. (McGill and U of Toronto). So that's way cheaper than an American university, let alone an international student's fee. But still it was a lot, so I'm fortunate my parents were able to support me then. (They're still supporting me now, since I don't make enough money from my part time job as a psychotherapist to make ends meet. Especially as our business expenses are a lot.)
Yeah it sucks to think of how understaffed hospitals and doctors' clinics are, for instance. And also some government positions. It's next to impossible to get a call with the CRA, even if you have an urgent question. Can't email or live chat. And if you call, you get a slim chance of making it through to an agent. You can't even leave a message, ugh. If only there were fewer barriers to entry for these and other jobs, then people would be less overworked and folks would get the help they need. The educational gatekeeping is ridiculous indeed. :(
