What makes you think that? I don’t think a college degree is strictly necessary to be an intelligent person.

your education influences how you think. universities and colleges invariably have political stances and the provision to learn the good/bad of the same. i shudder to think what a company will do to kids straight out of highschool with the same amount of time

unions bad! does work life balance really matter? are conservative ideologies really better fundamentally? these are viewpoints you can EASILY inculcate in a teenager given the right amount of motivation(responsibilities,perks,money,being treated as an adult etc etc)

i can't see how a company would NOT abuse this. it's a golden opportunity to create drones that work perfectly ONLY in your culture

This. Thank you for putting my vague thoughts into words.

Teenagers deserve time to think about stuff and to adults.
