“The most educated generation in history is on track to becoming less prosperous, at least financially, than its predecessors.”

Surely you jest Diana, they may be the most schooled as far as how much time they have spent in classrooms but they are far, far from being the most educated generation in history. In fact most could not pass my eighth grade history final, even the ones who have a degree in history. Of course if you consider simply being familiar with all the latest smart phone gadgetry the same as being educated that is different. Most that I know have never read the constitution and could not comprehend it if they did.

I’d wager that you are both saying the same thing, but with slightly differing language. Your disconnect is likely semantics.

Let me sum it up for all of us.

This is likely the most degreed generation, yet the least Knowledgeable.
