Exactly. I graduated just shy of 10 years ago, and even then the University was filled with nonsensical majors and unemployable graduates.
If you think it's bad here, I read a statistic the other day that 80% of Italian men between the ages of 18 and 30 live at home with their mothers. Talk about "mama's boy."

Culture is different here. They stay with their parents until they get married and then they move next door or upstairs to another apartment. They really do this as a family tradition. People just don't move out like in America. On the other hand, the unemployment for the youth is in the double didgets, but it is more of a traditional reason. I would think conservatives would be jealous of the family structure. I don't know see how they live as a close knit family is kinda nice. Maybe it is just me. There values are much better then ours as far as not shaking up, premarital sex, etc. They are living our 1950's life...the one that is mentioned here as missed many times on FREEPERS.
Many Europeans, and 19th Century Americans, live with family until they married (sometimes after). There is something to be said by having that support groups and economy of scale.
And there is something to be said for getting the hell out of the nest.
