    The problem is, where do those experts come from? Expertise is earned through experience, and if all the entry-level jobs go away then eventually you’ll run out of experts.

      Education. If education was free this wouldn’t be a problem, you could take a few more years at university to gain that experience instead of working in a junior role.

      This is the problem with capitalism, if you take too much without giving back, eventually there’s nothing left to take.

          You definitely don’t get experts from unemployed people, or from people working to the bone doing menial labor for minimum wage.

          Education is a broad term, that could include apprenticeships where you do get real work experience. And education would have to change a lot in all areas. The point is, the government can support people to gain that experience, the problem is that right now it isn’t. It’s common to exit just a bachelors degree with crippling amounts of debt.

            And it’s viewed more positively in the society to have a bullshit Bs or Ms than a (usefull) trade degree

              I wasn’t commenting on what type of education is better or worse than another. The point is that we need to support people through education.
