I should have been more general because most people would rather play than study (me included).
Considering that over 80% of people are employeed. The system does work (not saying it is perfect).

Unemployment and min wage jobs are magnitudes lower in highly educated cohorts though, so it does work, just not 100%.

For sure - only communism works 100% (temporarily)
I think you might be right.

I don't think removing the education aspect would affect employment rates in a developed country like the UK.
So many people I met at the jobcentre with degrees even just GCSEs / A levels that were constantly struggling to find work, not just me.
No employer from mine and these people's experiences care at all about our education.
I mean who doesn't have an education in the UK? How then does having an education set you apart from anyone else?
When only some people have an education yes its desirable. When everyone has it, no one cares.
I think you might be right.

Somewhat ironically, we've reached a moment in time where one doesn't need to 'know' much because there is so much information at our fingertips. Maybe all we'll need in the future is the ability to learn how to find what we need online, and just leave it at that. I hope not, because without curiosity we'll never progress, we'll never go beyond what we 'need' to know.
decreasing just shows the ops standards were from an already declining period of education and goes to further prove his point
You could argue the same about any method for sharing knowledge, the only thing that changed is the way it's stored.
the internet is basically a library you can always enter from anywhere
I think you'll find that the ability to get a job is also related to non education items such as location and willingness to move.
You are right about not being special when everyone has an education which is why most people find other ways to set themselves apart. Usually in their hobbies/out of work activities as well as experience.
If I were hiring I'd be biased towards people within a generation of me, young people these days lol...... who wants em
Isn’t declining a better word though? Especially in the context of this thread (not that I’ve read it all).
Literally ageism. Which I’m guessing some people laugh off as wokery, until they experience it themselves.

I've experienced this the other way. Cafés / restaurants only taking on 16yo girls because they get to pay them less and they think girls will get them more custom over boys.
And showing some initiative. Can’t find a job? Do some voluntary work. Help out at a charity. Join online communities. There is not shortage of things to do. Learn a skill and try to sell outputs to people.
declining sounds better though
So standards can’t decline?
Perhaps deteriorating is even better. Lots of D words available.
Agesim is agesim, regardless of direction.
