Once education is high enough should I bulldoze all yellow industrial zones

[loudent2]

And just go with offices? I have some farming zones in my latest city but everyone is so educated that most of them are needing workers. There's a constant abandonment of buildings.

On the other hand, I could probably zone some residential with no school access and maybe they could fill those spots. Seems backward way of thinking though.

What have you guys/gals done?

good question i also dont understand the game is so not logic

Level 3 industry provides jobs for educated sims too.

You keep your school capacity low enough to keep some industry.

TBH once highly educated becomes the majority stat your city starts becoming a PITA to run IMO. Highly educated is the stat I watch and regulate. A good way to regulate highly educated before you reach a large population is those dorms someone has on the workshop which are colleges with only 500 capacity, they are perfect for it.

Not again. No, limiting education is just BS.

People work every job, even if they are overeducated. If you constantly lack uneducated people, you are lagging behind on expanding residential.

Very much so. Level 2 already does.

You can, but educated workers will work in level 3 industries, which requires them also.

Further, your industries (non specialized) produces the final product sold in your stores. Unless you want to import everything, having industries is better than officies as you employ people for the industries and you then sell those goods in your own citiy, exporting the rest.

win-win.

This is great to keep things under control a bit better, e.g. locking generic industry and commercial to level 1 until you're sure you got enough of a workforce.

So in other words, you have to have low income housing, which doesn't happen when educated inhabitants level the housing up.

Sorry but just no.

If you have ratios like 20% educated, 30% well educated, 50% highly educated, you will have abandoning farming & forestry industries and unemployment at the same time.

I have been building some small communities outside the school zone so that they stay uneducated.

Its basically just the college that throws it off.

I seriously suggest trying these and watch the results.

Not been that far, guess I'll see. There's been people here with 100% highly educated forestry workers, though. And all jobs filled.

Im at 17% / 37% / 27% / 19% and people work forestry without problems.

Show me someone with 100% highly educated forestry workers.

From experience, they'll move out of your city before they take that forestry job.
