There aren’t many good paying jobs for anyone any more. There are millions of college graduates who are grasping at straws andd ready to take any job, even at minimum wage. I can show you some who would be better off now had they spent their college years working in a convenience store or a fast food place.
Higher education is a wonderful thing but to fantasize about sending everyone to school until they are well into their twenties is absurd.
I think that’s it. People need to make a living and this is a credentialed society. Yes, it’s true there are many people in college that shouldn’t be there, but that’s what it takes to make a living wage.
