WAY too many of them go to college.

Most should go to a trade school or something like that. They would be far better off.

Government offers a BLANK CHECK all the the name of EDUCATION and the colleges are all too willing to take those checks.

Colleges and universities can increase tuition every year and the government just gives the student more money to spend 5 1/2 years on their undergraduate degree.

No politician wants to be charged with denying anyone their right to an education. Truth is that so many of these young people would be better off not wasting the time getting a useless piece of paper.

So many young people have never worked a day in their lives before they’re 25 - 26 years of age. That is unbelievable and such a waste.

I worry a little bit about my 2 nieces age 21 and 19. They are super smart and talented now in college but neither have worked any jobs. One wants to be an art teacher and the other a history major. Hate to see them saddled with huge student loan debts afterwards.

Article in the paper today--the Lakefront Park system in Cleveland is showing neglect. They have eight openings for park rangers and the money to pay them, but cannot find qualified people to hire. The have five openings for maintenance people and the money to pay them, but--nobody to hire who can fix a tractor or run a beach cleaning machine.

These are full-time gubmint jobs, with benefits. Meanwhile, college grads are jerking coffee at Starbucks. I mean, how qualified do you have to be to be a city park ranger? We're not talking Yellowstone here. Go figure.
