“Things he can’t actually do for $800?”
OTOH, lets say he could.
Taking a bunch of money from one elite college and distributing it to dozens (hundreds?) of working class schools all over the country?
I thought he hated socialism…

I’m cool with this. Let’s devalue the trades by having an over-abundance of blue collar workers while simultaneously increasing demand for white collar jobs by reducing the supply of educated workers.
I get my toilet unclogged for even cheaper, and I get more money ten years from now when demand has risen.
I’d prefer to just have educated workers instead of glorifying back-breaking manual labor that the employees hate, but ill take a win where I can lol
That or businesses will need more immigrants to fill those white collar jobs Americans will no longer be educated for. But because of immigration policy, they won’t be able to fill those roles. So they will leave and open up shop in India or Central America.
As an office IT guy, a vast majority of office jobs could be done by nearly anyone. If they just stopped requiring a college degree to do those jobs and trained people, I think the vast majority of office work will be done
That being said, HR would rather import people with H1Bs, drastically under pay them, and create another layer of class division but separating themselves from the brown people offices to work at the new executive offices or do full WFH forever then admit a college degree was always a class tax to move from working to might class.
Oh, I thought it’s just Russia’s problem that everyone requires a bullshit degree to, I dunno, clean PCs and reinstall Windows
That’s so much of IT. They’re paying for me to get a degree but I already have the job. So it’s obvious it’s just a status symbol.
Early on Trump came out in support of H1B Visas. They’re practically slave labor and will drive down the rewards of white collar jobs. They want to gatekeep upward economic mobility. They are going to cap federal student loan awards if the new budget bill passes (albeit a very high limit) and probably drive it down further so only the rich will have degrees. The rest of us get to fight over which trade accepts us.
