Every time I see something like this, I get so incredibly pissed off.

Imagine how offensive this is to all the kids who want an apprenticeship and can't get one because there are none. Pretty much everyone in my generation has to go to college, that's how you get your apprenticeship. And these Ivory Tower morons don't realize that.

"earn while you learn" how about stop lying?

Maybe instead of handing all this money to filmmakers to make movies about how great being an apprentice would be they use it to try to create some apprenticeships? Most places aren't approaching labor crisis, they're there. And nobody is doing anything about it but making movies about how great it would be if people were employed in jobs that don't exist.

In the 11th century, the song dynasty lost northern china to the Liao people despite outnumbering them in population 100 to 1. Instead of reforming their military they say in the capital writing poetry about how great it would be if they could only win. At the same time, Muslims from modern-day Afghanistan invaded modern-day India. The Indians outnumbered them in population by 100 to 1, but instead of improving their military they built nicer temples to the gods so they could be granted victory.

Making videos about how great apprenticeships are to get more people into apprenticeships instead of actually do something to make more apprenticeships feels extremely similar.
