Yes, but first the original boss has to be bludgeoned to death so that there's room for the new young boss...
Nah, just let the student start his own business and hire his father plus a bunch of other employees in the newly created jobs.
Impossible.. once the incentives kicks in, everyone will have their degrees... everyone will be bosses. but the good news (I just figured it out) is that once everyone become bosses............. RObots will do all the cleaning and we will supervisor the robots, they will be the employees... They will also do the low level office work... some will even be dedicated as the slutty robot secretaries that, us, the bosses can take advantage off. Yes, its good to be "the man"..
And people thought that their degree in basket weaving was useless... Huhm... I guess, this plan could, possible, fail once the robots start to unionize or ask for "living wages..." Oh, well, it will be good while it lasts..
You sound like a raving lunatic.
Not everyone will get degrees because even though there is opportunity to have part of the expenses paid for through working not everyone will pass their classes. Also, not everyone will opt to take advantage of the program.
Plus you forgot a fundamental part of the growth process in business. If some of the more elite students become the "boss" of new and small companies and they hire lots of educated people who do a good job then their business will grow and more seats will become available including more seats for more bosses.
What exactly do you want anyways? The whole idea here is to give the middle class and lower class more opportunity to move up in life. You do want that right?.....or do you only want it if it comes for free?
Education does not produce jobs. In parts of your posting, you are implying that once people get educated, there will be jobs waiting for them or jobs will magically appear.
To provide opportunities for middle class to lower class people, you need to create more jobs... providing these people with a college education, only helps them compete better with other people.. however, it in itself does not create more jobs. Having 5 open positions, and 10 applications (9 with college degrees, and one w/o a degree) still leaves 5 people w/o a job. Even if everyone got a degree, it still leaves 5 people w/o a position.
Your hard on for the idea of people getting an "education" for curing the ills of society by providing "opportunity" is ridiculous. It is not the total solution...
Take for instance, high school degrees.. it use to be that not a lot of people had them.. now just about everyone has one... however, we still have unemployment.. Focusing on education, just for the sake of "education" is a zero sum game. Job creation is where its at... and making or pushing people to get an "education" doesn't do do it.
Also, remember through out history, some of the greatest "job creators" -- Henry ford, Steve jobs, etc, never even got there degrees.. some didn't even have a high school education.
