You're probably right. Education is no silver-bullet when a program can be written by a small team and disseminated online, still leaving so many others on the outside looking in.
When my son told me he was thinking about not going to university and thinking instead about becoming a car mechanic, I was not unhappy. Of course I'd love for him to aim higher, but on the plus side, it's pretty hard to offshore an engine rebuild. (He ended up going to uni anyway, open major right now, working towards IT, is his thinking).
It seems to me that this issue of employability, and the issue of the growing wealth disparity in this country, are deeply intertwined.
