    A high-school graduate can do any job on the planet with training.

    In a fair system employers would not be allowed to discriminate based on level of education and skill.

      Eh, sometimes the training takes 4-8+ years, and is only achievable by people with a certain disposition or talent.

      I do think it makes sense for education and work to be better integrated (apprenticeships make a lot of sense)

      But “discriminating” based on education and skill is just making a decision based on the two most important factors. I don’t want some unskilled HS student as my surgeon.

      If anything, I think hiring should be based on skill more, not based on previous jobs you’ve had and how good you are at interviews.
