2 Plus Decades ago, we were in another recession and recent college grads couldn’t get jobs even at fast food places.
One of our younger relatives with a hard core engineering degree combined with business project management had no problem getting a job nor did his peers.
I asked him what was going on and his reply, “The unemployed grads have instant unemployment degrees that will ensure unemployment for the rest of their lives!”
He got into the feel good degrees re female/minority rights/history or whatever. The social degrees and other degrees that didn’t prepare people for life.
He was right then and now. We know many overly colleged idiots with 2-4 degrees still living with their parents or on some type of welfare. They would be the first in line re these protests, particuliarly if they got paid for doing it.
I can remember asking these idiots what they were going to do with their worthless degrees, most just stared at me. A few who were more honest said that they would get a PHD in their worthless degree and then spew that stuff in a college/university. Their goal was a phd and tenure in college for their worthless degrees.
Three decades ago, I was living overseas...students were rioting in all the major cities...........kids with Oxford degrees, et al; b/c when they came home, there were no jobs [underdeveloped countries] for them.
We’re just a little bit late to the party.
The pretender-in-chief promised them.....they were hoodwinked. So sad. Too bad.
