Maybe if they chose Medicine, Electrical Engineering etc etc instead of Womyns Studies, Education and Psychology there would be more demands for their services.
Everything they mention happening in the UK, is also happening here in America. We too have this imbalance in the job market, in which the number of jobs which really require a college education, or certain types of degrees, are far less than the number of college graduates in the job market.
There are some well educated baristas at Starbucks and wait staff at restaurants. But they didn’t need college to get those jobs.
We should have a “national discussion” about this idea that everyone should go to college. Politicians of both parties talk about how we need people to go to college, and expand loan programs so they can afford it. But what is lost in the discussion is whether these college degrees actually qualify them for any meaningful career path.
If they get a degree in a field such as accounting or nursing, or some hard science fields such as engineering, they will find career paths and jobs which require and use their college educations.
If they get a degree in some liberal arts field, they will find that their degrees do not qualify them for much of anything in the job market.
