K-12 isn't job training. A university isn't job training either.
There are tons of issues with education in this country, but cutting liberal arts programs and focusing on job-training/vocational programs will just produce a bunch of thoughtless cogs in the machine.

Medical School, Dental School, Engineering School, Law School...
You don't think those people leave university with job seeking credentials?
And you think these people leave with equal amounts of job potential as someone from a pure liberal arts background and/or degree?

Exactly. But tell that to businesses that won't even look at you without the degree.
Want a good job? Go to college. Be able to produce. (But college isn't job training) Get an internship. (While good, how many interns are you really teaching procedures to for $15/hr).
So ask for training? You'll be called a lazy millennial. No motivation. (Lets also ignore that monthly Student Loan payment im making for the degree you said I have to have. )
It's a vicious cycle that's going to require a bunch of turnover at the top of industry and a good economy to reverse.
