The College-for-Everyone Illusion

He can sure say that again. I bought into the college lie, ended up with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. I had planned to get an MBA, but I had accumulated so much debt by the time I finished the first four years. I just couldn't afford anymore. During the same time, two of my high school friends took night classes as the local Vo-Tech center and apprenticed in a trade. Now one is a Pipefitter making over $100,000 a year and the other does heating/AC work and makes around $80,000 a year. And me? I'm sitting in a mid level management position making around $50K and still paying off college debt.

With a few exceptions, Engineering, Pre-Med hard sciences, college has been feminized to the point that is worthless. Those mid level jobs are dead jobs for women to go in and out of beteeen babies.
