(aka TP-ToiletPaper AFAIC) ridicule higher education and blame unemployment on unemployability due to selecting the wrong college major. Are there individuals who take useless majors? Yes. But those people are few in light of todays college costs. Its just part of the Republican blame game.
They regularly advocate for trade school and trade jobs.
The point is both are options. College isnt for everybody but its for a lot of people and shouldnt be discouraged.
