Of the five fastest-growing occupations in the United States over the next ten years, none requires a four-year college diploma
There’s a great future in panels. Photo: Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post/Getty Images A college diploma is the new high-school degree. In a 21st-century economy, a higher education is the only reliable ticket to the middle class. We can’t solve inequality without solving the crisis of college affordability.
The party’s left flank never stopped agitating for social democracy. But in making the case for tuition-free college, even figures like Bernie Sanders tacitly endorse the premise that, in the modern era, quality employment naturally requires higher levels of education than it did in the past.

To see why this is the case, take a glance at the newly released Employment Projections report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics . According to the BLS’s estimates, the five fastest-growing occupations in the United States over the next ten years will be solar panel installers, wind turbine technicians, home health aides, personal care aides, and occupational therapy assistants. Not a single one of those jobs requires a four-year college diploma.
