I like how tech has these insane burnout rates and bias towards young people yet no one thinks there's a need for a union.

e: actually the US could learn a lot from the Australian system - aside from one or two token "general studies" electives, an IT degree is spent focusing on IT, not irrelevant liberal arts classes. Of course that way you can't milk students extra $$ making them spend time on extra subjects.
Why would the US want to learn this? I think it's good that students have to take classes outside their disciplines, especially in liberal arts which I think is being eschewed too hard in favor of stem.

In the abstract however when you have to pay thousands of dollars to do it then you might get angry.

That's a problem with tuition, a different issue.
