Wrong. When I went to Tulane in the late 70s it was 5K a year and the job market was wide open. I earned 700 a week painting houses. Now Tulane is 40k a year and with illegals painting houses is now minimum wage job. Blaming the younger generation has been a weak argument since Socrates.
Well, you don't live where I do, and you don't see what I see. I've been a hiring manager the last 18+ years of my career and I can tell you factually that the "kids" coming out of college want the world with little work. They expect to get the high paying gig with zero experience (they think they learned it all in College ya know) and whine when they don't get it.
I'm in the Shitcago area --- that's my experience.
I think your mind may be back a few years. I wouldn’t be off base in saying that Tulane is 60K a year now. You would need a degree to get a job that pays you enough to get a degree. Kind of like that painting of the never ending stairs.
