Identifying the effect of the problem doesn't solve it. The problem is that so many students have been sold a bad bill of goods. That would be a college education with no particular job skill attached to it, and forever debt.

The solution is to direct more students to vocational training. Even better, go back to shop and other job skill classes in all high schools, so students are actually qualified to do something.

The Education Nazis would not like that.

The snowflakes with instant unemployment degrees don’t want to work.

Their degrees are worthless in today’s world.

I went to Prep School in Shaker Heights. We had to take Wood Shop, Metal Shop, and Mechanical Drawing.

One way to start down the path to a solution is to change the name of the school from “College Of Liberal Arts” to “College Of Pursuits Of The Idle Rich”. Those liberal arts majors are set for life if they start out independently wealthy, but English and Philosophy majors get jobs only when all of the other candidates are brown or black guys with no education and a criminal record.

True. College is not for everyone, and state schools should not even be offering courses that have no employment value. Unfortunately, even those who pursue rigorous degrees in science and engineering find employers favor H1B visa holders.

H1B visas should have a $500,000 fee attached to them so that they are only used by employers that REALLY cannot find American talent, not as a way to undercut wages for American talent. And when employers open offices overseas instead, charge them the visa cost anyway for those workers.
