Commercials for medication should be banned. Mostly because they annoy me since they are like 2-3 minutes of random people silently doing "life" stuff while the voiceover talks about the side effects, but these companies should be focused on providing the best medicine to doctors to prescribe, not spending millions to try and build a brand.

That's not fair. marketing people are not zero-contributing, they are actively harmful to society by pressuring people into consumerist behavior that is killing the planet. There is hardly any profession more despicable among wage-people than marketing.

Any subject that isn't a real topic of serious research (physics, literature, maths, music, art, and so on) should be banned from being taught at universities. Skills like accounting or management should just be taught in 1 or 2 month intensive modules so people don't have to waste 3 years of their lives studying something so simple and people who can't find employment in more serious topics can easily switch to something else if needed. The way it is now if you study business management at a university you get a 3 year bloated track of redundant coursework and other crap while the essentials can probably be taught to anyone in less than a year.

The various levels of tertiary education are a maze of nonsense. There's no consistent reason why a thing is an apprenticeship, TAFE course, undergraduate degree or postgrad and some things are available at more than one level with no real difference of outcome. It sounds more impressive to say you've got a higher level qualification, but it doesn't actually mean you know more or worked harder.

Universities should be more restrictive on what degrees they offer and fluctuate the number of degrees they allow people to get in a given field with the market demand for people with those degrees. If there are no or very little jobs that want that degree, it is equivalent to fraud imho to allow someone to pay for it. Assuming you made a legitimate effort at finding employment in the field you were allegedly trained to join and failed, you should be able to sue the university for a refund. To avoid abuse/frivolous claims, there should be an announced period of time where any company that specializes in that field can offer them a job, causing the lawsuit to be dismissed. Basically people need to stop telling kids you can be whatever you want to be. Yes, technically you can, but they leave out the part "but with some things you will barely make any money and will have to spend years searching for employment".

Job training should be moved out of universities entirely.

Job training should be moved out of universities entirely. That's what they sell themselves as. If they did a universal rebranding and made it extremely clear that they aren't, I'd be fine with it. But they never will, because they spent decades teaching kids that 100% of people need college degrees and you can all be lawyers and doctors and billionaire businessmen if you just give them a couple hundred thousand dollars, there's no way they give up that cash cow unless they are forced to by an external party. As long as they sell themselves as preparing you for your career, which they very much do, they should be held accountable for providing what they are promising.

At first I thought this post was stupid and made me angry. The idea that higher education purely has value as job training, the idea that you can go in to college confident about what the job market is going to look like, etc. All terrible. But as I thought about it, I kinda came around to it. Colleges should only offer training for jobs that will always need more people. Teaching and nursing.

The idea that higher education purely has value as job training, the idea that you can go in to college confident about what the job market is going to look like, etc. All terrible. There should still be universities where you can just go learn something for the sake of it too - they just should just be called/sold as something different from the current university system. A split university system, kind of like what vocational schools are now and pure academic institutions, is ideal, but given how unpopular vocational schools are, it'll never happen. But yes, jobs that like that should be simultaneously pushed harder and rewarded better to attract the best people. In teaching particularly (probably nursing too but i'm less familiar with it) it seems like the best ones are punished for their success and are given more and more near-impossible tasks so the others don't have to deal with it. When you're getting paid like poo poo and treated like poo poo, it's no wonder there is a shortage of good teachers. It's not even as simple as paying them more - the "those that can't do, teach" attitude and the idea that nurses are people who failed at being a doctor needs to be eradicated. No job should be seen as beneath anyone. Maybe we need to use the system shown in the hit television show "Dinosaurs" where you are assigned a career by the Job Wizard when you're young. Just don't make me a tree-pusher.

Olives are like cilantro. You're not in control of your sense of taste. I don't like eating them, but strangely the oil is fine.
