I’m sick and tired of hearing that education is the key to eradicating poverty. The more people that have degrees and are thus are qualified for positions, only saturates the job market with potential employees. The free market law of supply and demand equates to more competition for the positions and decreases the wage that can be offered for the same labor. This is ten fold for United State citizens when the open job market and new communication systems allows people in foreign nations the positions that used to be dictated by geography. I bares mentioning communist nations totally disregarding intellectual property rights for the good of “the people.”
Post high school education has it’s place and should be a requisite for some jobs, such as brain surgeons and moon rovers. But for the most part college education does only one main thing, supports the economy by making more debt and thus the ability to print more money. It also may be detrimental to those people who thrive off of self education. I wouldn’t be half the artist I am today had I the influence of masters of arts. My culinary degree might have meant something if the market wasn’t flooded with wanna be bambers. Thanks E, you’ve made me “a dime a dozen.” (actual quote from Susan Spicer about me (celebrity chef)).
The cure to poverty comes in maintaining a balance of human population and a restructuring of physical property right. We the people own the planet, not, they the corporations. And some things should be totally funded by the state, and thus owned by the people. Like the cure for cancer.
