So they opt to not work at all? Your comment makes no sense.
I did not say that recent college graduates would not work at all, only that they were RELUCTANT to work at entry-level wages. Times being what they are and all, some of them will take the entry-level wages.
But many of the rest are bypassing opportunities because they aren’t getting on the fast track right away, and those are the ones that opt to become “professional students”, educating themsleves into middle age with trivial degrees. And racking up ever higher and higher student loan balances.
What the US needs is a lot more STEM (science-technical-engineering-mathematical) degrees, and not the make-work pieces of wallpaper handed out in lieu of real accomplishments in learning.
