I believe that they are unable to understand that many of those who have NO college degree have more REAL education than many of those who DO. Secondly, a college degree is worth far less in the job market than a high school diploma was worth in the sixties.

It is all about credentials now, a college degree is just an easy way to reduce the number of candidates to be considered, in many cases it has little or nothing to do with actual qualifications for the job. College graduates are accepting jobs of a level which would have been filled by high school DROPOUTS in the fifties and sixties because MOST recent college graduates could not pass a high school final exam from that era if their lives depended on passing it. Education has been replaced by indoctrination, we are reduced to importing engineers and physicians from India while young Americans try to pay off huge student loans by working at jobs which my generation would have scorned as eighteen year old high school graduates.
