Have the private companies train employees themselves.

I've been saying this for awhile. I predict we'll see an educational revolution in the next 50 years or so.

Take a university accounting program for instance. You don’t have to go to college for four years to learn how to be an accountant. I guarantee you that there are accounting firms who have the resources and wherewithal to develop their own educational/training curricula, and I bet they could do it a lot faster than a traditional four-year degree.

They just have to make it worthwhile for both the trainee and the firm.

Something like: “We’ll train you and certify you to be an accountant in one year, and hire you afterwards, as long as you commit to working for us for four years.”

Take a degree like engineering. It doesn't take 4 years to learn how to sit in a room and post on td and scribble on autocad

But all of the advanced math courses do, dumbass.
