#1 "but then the businesses and the companies realized that the students are not coming in prepared for our workforce,"

That was never the intent. It was to pad the wallets of the academics and build bureaucratic empires within. They were aided by Human Resource offices within companies who were too lazy to make sure the applicants were qualified for the job because of SCOTUS and simply defaulted to 'credentialing' handed out by an ever expanding industry of paper mills, formerly know as 'higher education'.

#3 provide assistance for trade school completion. None for college. Business can be learned in a trade school so can auto repair, a/c repair, barbering. Colleges should be for aesthetic learning and not gov't supported drivel. Persons should learn how to provide for themselves and be exposed to humanities,arts,poetry, etc as they want to pay for it.

#10 At 44 years old I finished my CompSI degree. My pay immediately doubled. I could have taught every course I took. In my small country HS I took small engine repair, drafting and woodworking one semester a year.
