I don’t blame the kids for this.
They’ve been told since the cradle that if they go to college, they WILL make big money and live the American dream. Their parents told them this. Their teachers told them this. And the media tells them this.
I’m glad there’s people there who appreciate this.
Kids since the 1990s have been told they have to go to college if they don’t want to end up flipping burgers for the rest of their lives. They weren’t being given a weighing of their options or told that Vo tech was a good alternative, I’ve never heard a single person say that.
They trusted the authority figures in their lives and went to college, not all for useless degrees, and a lot are stuck working those dreaded service jobs they were threatened with if they didn’t go to college in the first place.
