That’s $84,140 for a bachelor’s degree. RIPOFF off of ignorant 'students' and their parents.


(And soon to be of US!)

Need to make colleges pay.

Bingo.


Wait until the colleges get hit with an 385 MILLION dollar fine for OVERVALUING their product!

Depends a LOT on how big the basement is at their parents’ house.

There is a propaganda, that without college degree you are nothing!
Yes, there are college degrees necessary for Doctors, lawyers, engineers. But most kids are not smart enough to get these degrees.
All they get is some DEI propaganda.
Instead wasting money on easy, useless degrees they often are not even able to get, they should get some real well paying job not requiring college education. There are plenty of those, everywhere!

If colleges issued student loans from the faculty pension fund, they might become a little more selective in the courses they offer, and the students they accepted.

“The third most popular degrees are in social sciences and history (8 percent).”

I wouldn’t trust most college graduates with cleaning up dog crap on my lawn, let alone hiring them to work in my shop. Some of my best employees came from the state prison industrial arts training program.

“A low-IQ person with a college degree remains a low-IQ person.”

Colleges love the low IQ people. NOthing wrong with a low IQ. I have a low IQ. BUT, I went to a college that was at my ability. I got a degree and worked full time with ZERO debt (hmm. maybe I do really have a low IQ since I should have just loaded up with hundreds of thousands in debt for Chomo Biden to wipe out). But with AA colleges people who have no business in college, or at least a high standards college, take in Tarquisha and Dontavious and when they can’t make the grade, rather than place them in a proper college, or even kick them out, they lower the standards and create entire useless programs for low IQ people. And they aren’t even educational programs. They are pure indoctrination programs. Both to keep other unintelligent people employed (Fauxcahontis, Ward Churchill, Ibram Kendi) and money flowing in from student loans.

The positions the colleges are preparing students for no longer are surfacing. With the working age for retirement rising to 70, a lot of those jobs are being held by people that have had them for many years and have displayed success in them so the employers are not as likely to wish young blood in them. And this is during a time of recession so tried and true is the bargain. The pile up starts at the top, not at the bottom. So being hungry has become the new necessity for career changing actions. It now consists of getting by. Thus it isn’t rising to the top of the glass and leveling off. It’s spilling on to the table and many times on the floor.

US graduates, who start their careers underemployed, usually stay that way for years, per a new report.

About 73% of graduates who don’t find college-level jobs in their first working year stay underemployed 10 years later.

Working in a college-level job gives graduates about a 50% higher salary, the report said, 3 days ago.

Half of college graduates have high school level skills.

I was surprised and a bit disheartened years ago to reread in college English courses books that I had read as part of my high school curriculum.

It wasn't like an expanded dive into them either - it was the same level of review and introspection.

That’s so great! Hopefully, that was back when before the US military began to worship woke.
