Hahahahahahaha... you sound like one of our republicans.
I work as a biomed, a sector of repairing medical equipment that is a sought after career field, desperately needed. Been doing it for five years, and I like to think I'm damn good at my job.
I also only have an associates degree.
There are not many countries that will take me with only that associates degree. It's like I tell conservatives who do the "Don't like it, move", being from the US isn't some special wonderful status that gets us open doors into other countries. Other countries don't want us like the Republicans don't want foreigners from other countries, unless they're wealthy.
Biomed isn't really a sought after career. Most people outside of the medical community don't even know it exists. The last hospital I worked at was starting a teenage volunteer program and surveyed high school and college kids. 60% thought only doctors and nurses worked at hospitals.
By sought after I mean the hospitals searching for us. As you say, my hospital is bringing in high schoolers to intern because the industry basically has no pipeline for workers because most of the old guard are still there but retiring and/or dying off so suddenly there's a massive lack in a very tiny pool caused by it basically not being advertised until very recently.
