Why does the US need higher education?
We've killed engineering, aerospace, the space industry, most manufacturing. We've exported most design work, most fabrication and almost all of the heavy industries like shipbuilding and steel making. The federal government is working hard to kill Boeing and the airline industry with the NLRB and the TSA giving an assist.
So, who needs the difficult math/science degree?
Lets make things easier on these kids, after all they're just going to grow up to become welfare recipients anyway since there will be nowhere to work. Why make their young lives difficult?
Besides, anyone in LA with a brain goes to private school for highschool and private University and sends their kids to the same.
And even some of the public universities in LA will crush those people who show up unprepared. UCLA is notoriously difficult. UC Irvine is really tough too.
Look, somebody has to run the deep-fryer. Somebody has to mow my lawn. Somebody has to trim the bushes and pick up the trash. Los Angeles is providing future trashmen and gardeners for the entire country. We used to supply PhD engineers but no matter. Its the new economy!
