[Apocryphon]

It's not something you can legislate away, unfortunately. It requires a sea change in societal perceptions- apprenticeship programs need to come back and be viewed as just as worthy an alternative to going to university. (Germany is an example of a country that still values apprenticeships) Companies to need to offer more paid, meaningful internships need to be offered instead of unpaid menial makework. And whatever happening to IBM's traditional idea of training someone to become a programmer?
