Just keep letting in all the H1b visa’s from India and Pakistan and everywhere else in the world just flood into the country and “Wow , where did all the jobs go’’?
When you pervert the system and cheapen the degree process so “everyone can attend college” and have a degree, the value and utility of a college degree drops.
Couple that with 50 years of asinine political decisions that drove American industry offshore and you end up with exactly what we have.
So far the reaction of the government and the education industry is to double down on the same short sighted policies that first brought on the problem.
When the leftist dream of universal college attendance is eventually realized we will have degreed graduates mowing the lawns of wealthy plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, welders and others who can actually do something and who provide needed skills and services.
Well if this is so...they should vote Republican on Tuesday...allow the Republicans to can the laws the muslim/communist cartel in DC has put into place. Then let private business regenerate and these 17,000,000 well educated people can rejoin the work force by using the education they acquired. Some may even begin their own business and hire of a few of the college educated in a position appropriate to their skills. They pay may be lower than the one they had before the downfall of business, but it will give them a better sense of self, and the pay will increase with time. Been there, done that.
What ever happened to getting a business degree and then opening your own business? Maybe your dad was a plumber and then you went to business school and then opened your own plumbing business. These college kids have a warped sense of what to expect when they get out. Few want to organize, work hard, and sacrifice good times to get to the top. No doubt credit has dried up, but it can be done.
I personally think that no one should get a degree just to get a job. A degree is a by product of learning, the reason that someone goes to college. If someone has a degree and is a “server”, that is just fine if the person is happy and, trust me, you don’t have to have money to be wealthy,
My wife retired at age 49 as the COO of an electronics company. I am currently a VP of marketing. Neither one of us received college degrees. Maybe we should’ve stepped aside for someone more “qualified”.
College can educate you, but it doesn’t necessarily make one intelligent.
The college educational result of today gives one the equivalent of the old "drop-out-of-school-in-the-6th-grade" status of the 1950's.
What jobs are there for liberal arts students besides circular jobs (teaching the crap you learnt back to someone new)? We need more manual employees.
