And yet they are. Should people suffer degradation for it?

Unfortunately, most people spend the first 18 years of their life learning not-so-useful things, at least in the US. They might go on to college, spend lots of money, and waste several more years learning not-so-useful things.

Then they work retail jobs for little money. It's their own doing.
