What is the sociological/economic/psychological consequences on Blue Collar wages created by the modern education system and their drive for college graduates?
Almost every student is persuaded repeatedly that college is the key to success and will earn them a million more dollars in their lifetime. Yes, a million is what the poster said in my classroom. This is an idea filtering throughout society, but specifically through the government education system. If all the students are convinced including the majority who will not finish college continually that they will amount to nothing. Then the psychological attitude of this social class is artificially lower because of government propaganda. They literally see themselves as less because they never finished college. Meaning they have less confidence to demand higher wages in the economy. If the majority of the workforce has this instilled in their minds by their government. We can start to see why wages are so one-sided. The elite continue to gain in this world while the lowers classes who need the most empowerment are undermined with their own tax dollars. If you are not proud of your work... then why would you see yourself as an asset to society let alone attempt to ask for more money. If we had a free market education system the love for work would flow freely from the minds of humans. The attitude that you MEAN something to the world would grow resulting higher wages.
