Where are these supposed jobs requiring educated workers? I have been looking, and they’re not here in Kentucky.

Quick.. we need more immigrants from other countries because Americans just can’t do it.. Love... the tax dodging corporations of America. I call BS. They don’t want to pay Americans nor pay the taxes required to employ Americans. Same old democrat lettuce picker argument.

I agree with some of what West is saying, but it’s not all about education and schooling. Trump is on the right track, companies need apprentice programs. Just look at the job postings looking for workers with 3 to 5 years experience and a list of qualifications as long as your arm for entry level jobs. They want someone else to train them and then pay them squat.

I find this story very difficult to swallow. Funny how they don’t mention what kind of jobs, what skills are necessary, etc.

Why are they blaming Obama for this?
‘Higher’ education has been doing this to itself since the 1960s.
The only thing I can see is that they had additional encouragement from White House during the Obama regime.

A significant part of this issue starts at the high school level. Kids in the “vo-tech” are treated like they are stupid. They frequently are bused to some central facility where they get less than a full day of instruction. What instruction they receive in general work and life skills subjects suffers due to time constraints.

I have spent some time at our local career center proctoring performance tests and while the students can pass the minimal test it seems as if they don’t get taught to the depth one needs to succeed in their chosen career. So they are not prepared to go on to college, yet don’t have the background needed to get a decent job.

Many moved on to private college. Unfortunately some students are just not employable for one reason or another - maybe they present poorly, are unmotivated, or never learned to work. Those failures were blamed on the college because NOTHING is anyone’s fault now, and the liberal education department jumped on the chance to “make it right”.

No sane person can name one thing Obama didn’t do to hurt this country never trust the left.

Frankly a whole lot of jobs out there do NOT require a college degree.

What we need are better internship and apprenticeship programs. And to get hiring managers to pull their heads out of their rectums and realize that a Bachelors Degree should not be the basic entry ticket to the job market.

And who pays the bill if a student walks away from his or her loan obligation – the taxpayer

Absurd.

The loans have to stop. If you can't pay for it, don't go.

And if that proves impossible, then make the college cosign and own the default.
