I think this part ties it together?
Do nurses and teachers get hired at any level with zero education requirement?
A number of states have tried exempting teaching positions from higher education requirements.
Why does the education level matter? Plenty of important jobs don’t require more than a high school diploma. They are not lesser because of it. If ICE’s job was handing out puppies to depressed people to cheer them up then I wouldn’t give a fuck that you didn’t need a college degree to do that. Heck some states have been so desperate for teachers/nurses that the education requirements have been largely dropped for those too.
The problem with ICE isn’t that it requires little education or that it’s well-paid, it’s that it’s whole purpose is being inhumane.
