I've been trying to get a job in an IT dept. of an educational institution for years.
So I left this one till later.
But, I'm obviously not gonna ever get hired to one of these old boy hierarchical cesspools,
too anti authority, so fuck it. Right between their eyes...
In the last 20 years of right wing government we've gone from a system where everyone could get a good education, to one where the very banking system that's keeping people in poverty with its "credit" bullshit is in charge of who gets a student loan and how fast they must repay it.
People are getting $20k - $50k in debt for their education, and then working as dishwashers to pay it off. Yet I would bet you that 3/4 of the MLA's in Parliament went to school on Canada Student Loans from the 70's, even though they had parents rich enough to actually pay for it!!
Here's how it should work.
If there are no jobs in something, there shouldn't be 10 places to go and get in debt for it.
It's just raking in money for educational institutions who are then paying outrageous salaries to old fuckers who can barely teach.
If an educational institution wants to get students in a course it should have to prove that it is outputting educated professionals who can actually get work in that particular field, that way kids who are just wasting time won't be accepted to a course. Regardless of how fucking rich your daddy is, the institution isn't going to let you take a program if in your first semester you're getting %50 for marks. They want people who will get to the end of the program and be employable in that field or they won't get any more funding for those programs, the institutions that are actually preparing people for real world work will get that funding.
Schools will specialize properly then, instead of every school in the country having programs in things that aren't going to fill positions, people who are good at some particular thing will go to the school that is actually outputting people into that field.
Right now schools can teach out of date programs, with little real world industry input and generate scores of people who basically know very little about the real job.
We send thousands of people out into the workforce with "IT" certificates and diplomas, and then the government just lets industry import them directly in from india or china anyway.
We output thousands of civil engineers, and then large public works projects just fly a bunch of lower paid serbians and mexicans, russians etc in for the job and then send them back home after.
If educational institutions had to guarantee that graduates would find employment in their field, the educational system would fight these kinds of imports.
There's no accountability right now in the educational sector, and Canadians who go to school for something are often ill prepared for the real workforce and end up doing servile labour, NOT what they were trained for.
Schools would specialize more and beef up their infrastructure and course content to make sure that their graduates actually get work.
Make them accountable for the quality of their product!!!
