Lot of truth there. Education means a lot in today's job market as long as you don't major in psychology or sociology or any of the the other liberal arts degrees. But Cuban as usual leaves out a significant portion of the economy. Skilled laborers. Electrician; plumber, carpenters, mechanics, cooks. Your can't replace a toilet on the internet. You can't fix a car on the internet. We're wasting a tremendous amount of money sending kids to school to be sociologists. We need mathematicians and engineers. But we also need skilled laborers. There actually is a reason that we have the illegal immigration problem we have today. A significant portion of the skilledcarpenters in this country are illegals.

I know the company I work for, we have a high turnover of inspectors. They do oil/gas component inspections. These jobs can make people 6 figures consistently. I would say it's a brick and mortar job.

gordosan is right. Skilled laborers are vital, and they are a reduced class. Which is why a lot of them are now making comparable salaries to the digital world.
