The last three generations have been told their life will be a dead end if they don't go to college.
Now, we have the current generation completely screwed over due to this guilt trip.
I feel more dread for the upcoming disaster that will make the 2008 debt bubble burst look like a hic-up.
Being old, I read the obituaries every day to see if I'm in there. I have noticed that a high percentage of the people who have education and job history listed in their obituaries never had a job that had anything to do with their degree. I've known several companies who want managers who have college degrees and they hire people who have a degree that has nothing to do with the job. These are companies that were started and turned into highly profitable companies by men who had, at most, an eighth grade education. They were then run into the ground by third generation, college educated people.
