Not all jobs in there are worthless. Education is, obviously, vitally important. Plus, outside of teachers, a lot of support is required. However, we have to realize that the entire system is bloated.
We, quite frankly, send a lot of kids to college who do not belong there. This is especially true considering the debt they leave with and their track record of getting jobs. The fact that many, if not most, kids cannot find jobs that support the payments shows a shortcoming in the economics of the system.
There are too many living off the debt these kids take on.
As mentioned, we see the same thing in the US medical system.

I was just giving you a hard time :) I am lucky that I work in a fairly rural school district. We have a pretty solid understanding that some of our students are going to just be farmers like their parents are/were. We also have a really awesome trades program that prepares students to do those skilled trades jobs that they maybe don't need to go to college for. If I had known I could make twice what I make now being a welder, I might have made some very different decisions in high school!

Isn't that the truth?
Dont worry I spent 20 years in a job that, at the end of the day, really didnt add that much to society.
