Boomers created and curated an employment system that force fed college to their children and now they're screaming at them for listening.

This guy gets it.

College was a way for older generations to:
- Get rid of the responsibility of raising kids, supporting them
- Create unique, costly gateways to employment, and reduce investment of training of said employees. Which has completely reduced the long term investment of companies into people, gutting the idea of pensions and dedication (You want to talk about the immediacy focus on youth - that's Boomer stuff right there. The way to get ahead is not to invest in a company that wants to invest in you, it's to switch jobs every 4 years. Which is also why millenials are far more transiest - it's required. So yeah - also impacts real estate needs).
- Made other people pay for education - the government and kids
- Voted themselves raises, and voted themselves into a plethora of useless college positions, increasing the cost of college

And they did all of this while brainwashing kids AND making college a locked gateway to higher earning.
