That is partly true. Of course, you need a college degree to get some of these mundane jobs anymore.

“...you need a college degree to get some of these mundane jobs anymore.”

Yes, that is true. My hairdresser has a son who graduated and got a job with the car rental company, Enterprise. They won’t look at you if you DON’T have a college degree.

BUT, my daughter has a cousin who is on scholarship at Prudue, in engineering. She told us in 2008, that of the graduating class, only 30% got a job when they finished.

So, what do you do???

The market is saturated with college degrees, both older and younger, not all of them are going to get the kind of jobs people USED to expect, yet, the degrees even in engineering can and have been off-shored???

I have a daughter that is a High School Senior now. I have been telling her it might be best to go to JC for a while as she figures out what she wants to do.
