“The workforce is overpopulated with college graduates with little to no skills”

This is true. I’ve seen quite a few 22 year old college graduates that have never held a job. They are completely helpless and mostly worthless. An education and skills are two different things.

That's pretty much where I was when I graduated. Homeschoolers have some good ideas about post-highschool education and job training, and I hope the business world and society at large begin to take note. If I were a business owner I'd be heavily recruiting from homeschool ranks and ditching the worthless college grad population.

I've noticed recent college grads have a lot of "adjusting" to do to fit into a mature workforce that isn't into partying and stupid antics. It's not just about maturity, it's about their basic expectations and work ethic (not to mention their whiny attitude.)
