This manifested in an industrial policy which pushed millions of motivated citizens to mortgage their 20s in favor of english, philosophy, and psychology degrees. Education does not directly translate to remunerative employment.

Working on an automotive line still pays ~2-4x higher than being a manager at a Starbucks, with added benefits like a regular work week and weekends.
