Clueless millennials and Zs borrowing $200k for a degree in queer studies are SHOCKED to learn that they are unemployable.
A lot of this is clearly not understood by the teenagers/their parents, journalists, or politicians.
If you went to a public university in your state and asked for a manpower sheet and what people actually do....you will get a line of BS and refusal to cooperate. Probably one out of every three university employees are unnecessary.
Then you gauge value of degrees. Science, engineering and medical degrees will immediately start your pay-scale at a higher level, and every three years...move up another notch. You can’t say that for the other 75-percent of degree programs.
Finally, I’d question if you are really learning much of anything within half the university programs in the US....to be worth $100,000 of value. It’s like buying a Yugo car and saying it has x-value when you know it’s only one-tenth that value.
Not true. A great many of them are being hired -- at lucrative salaries -- by NGOs, government agencies, and corporations. They find jobs as CDOs (Chief Diversity Officer) and diversity consultants, they find jobs in HR departments, etc.
Yes, there are more graduates than positions available. But a great many are being hired, and causing great damage in their jobs while being generously compensated for it.
