The job demand was there. I worked in Accounting - the government put out calls that "in 5 years we'll be short teachers" so people went into teaching.
But what changed was the right wing lunatics came to power and decided that it was a good idea to make sure all schools run at a profit (or at least a draw) and when a teacher retired they didn't replace the teacher - they just made the classes bigger and added portables - turning schools into trailer parks. They cut all the specialist teachers by 3/4 and froze the pay for 5 years - inflation goes up 15% the pay did not effectively cutting pay 15%.
Of course by then you're in year four of a degree program with 1.5 years left so you stick it out because you're $30,000+ in student loan debt and if you quit you have a pretty worthless BA in on of the arts.
Nope I didn't complain - I took my degree and moved to Asia where I get paid like a doctor (we put money into health but not education which even philosophers back in the days of Plato questioned). The fact is everyone is going to get sick and die - not everyone is going to be educated properly so why society puts money into stopping the inevitable but doesn't put it into education is ridiculous. Asia seems to get it. Smart people tend to live longer because they get better jobs and can eat richer quality food which in turn lowers the health care costs for them and a nation rather dramatically.
Any person around the boomer age that has a high paying job and does not have a degree in their specific field who rips young people for not woprking hard is a blow hard fop. These people if they were put back in time as a 30 year old with no degree - would not get the job they're in now and would be making min wage - and if you're making min wage - gee I think these blow hards would have a lot different things to say about how much it should be.
But like most your the type that says "I got mine so screw everyone else" "I got it because God loves me more." Or "I got it because I am BETTER/SMARTER than everyone else." No one helped them right. They went to schools that had music programs, arts, school discipline, no fear of being shot in the classroom etc. Yup the boomers had no help from anyone - lol.
