Too bad the Republicans completely blocked Obama's education bill, which included getting people not only into college, but into apprentices and trade schools if they preferred.
We have massive infrastructure, construction projects that could be done now: the money to pay for them is virtually free to borrow, we have the people (unemployed) to put directly to work at this. We could drop our unemployment massively tomorrow, fix our decrepit infrastructure, at the cheapest cost possible. It's being blocked. By one political party. Gee darn.
