    Yeah, for entry level jobs fully agree. You cant expect every biotechnology company to pay for 6 years of education for every new employee, every school to pay for every new teachers training, every hospital, every finance company and bank.

      That’s how PhD programs work in certain parts of Europe.

      They’re funded by a company for a specific project and end up training an employee in that area.

      It’s actually quite effective (both cost and otherwise).

      Mine actually was partly funded that way, and I ended up being a major player in the area because there was no one else.

      At Texas A&M the major chicken companies offer full ride scholarships for people to study poultry science. Industries can afford to pay for schooling, but they say they can’t and make the same arguments you, the non-owner of a large company, have accepted as correct.

      If you are saying, “it would be exceedingly difficult and costly to shift the education burden in most jobs,” I’d agree with you. But the other poster is correct - the apprentice model of school and training already exists, and Tyson has shown at least that industry will pay for higher education when demand exceeds supply.
