College isn’t the end all-be all. Liberals have this idea that a college education is the key to success, and it can be. But liberals want to send EVERYONE to college, and not everyone is suited to college, and not all college educations are worth it.
Everything liberals touch turns to crap, and college is no different.
Like everything, college is what you make of it, and what you get out of it.
If you take Black Studies, Native American Studies, Women’s Studies, or Philosophy, well...good luck with that. I hope you have good bartending skills, because you are going to need them.
If you are suited to science, great. People with talent in many of those fields can get good jobs, but as we all know, you have to get the timing right. It does no good to pick a really good and interesting field if the job market is completely glutted with that field.
And in many cases, people stupidly pay outrageous tuition to go to an ivy league or other high end institution, but in the end, it is going to be a piece of paper you walk away with. Go to a smaller school near home. Commute to school if you can. Don’t graduate with a mountain of debt, even though it looks like the liberals are going go use debt forgiveness as a way to get everyone, no matter how unqualified or unprepared, a college education.
There are a LOT of people who will be far, FAR more successful in a trade. Funny, I have never known plumbers who had trouble putting food on the table or a car in the garage. Being a mechanic usually means you will always be able to support yourself and your family. Electricians, welders, machinists, there are plenty of things that are far, FAR more useful to the right kind of person than a college education can be.
It is all what you make of it.

You can get a seriously overpaid government job.
I agree with you. I have a Son-in-Law who went on to get his Registered Nurse certificate then another which must be something like a Physicians assistant. He had to go to school a good while after his BS but now is making good money and there is a shortage in his field. He is a big strong guy and they really need them.
My Daughter got her teaching certificate and thinks she was underpaid at $52,000. She helped put her husband through his graduate studies and now is home schooling.

Hoping Trump will address this!
