Many of them have no job, no prospects, and tons of debt.
They are desperate.
Revolutions are often fought by desperate young men with little hope of advancement.
And slashing the EPA, cranking up cheaper coal energy, gutting the Agg department... that would crank up manufacturing and agricultural jobs.
Not sure many have the education to understand how that works.
I have three neighbors who's kids are living at home due to being able to find meaningful full-time work.
One of them has a masters degree in forensic sciences and completed a one year tour with the FBI. He has no local prospects despite being a very smart and personable young man. I've known him and his family since he was 6 years old.
I'm within 18 months or so of sending my oldest off to college. He wants to get into Law Enforcement and hopefully into the FBI. I'm wondering if college is worth it since he'll likely start his career with the county sheriff's dept (we know the Sheriff and we've all chatted.)
I feel bad for the "kids" I know that are fresh or 3 years+ out of college, have meaningful degrees and cannot find full time work.
