It
keeps being repeated: Go to college and get a diploma or you won’t
get a good paying job.
Then you see number comparisons of college degrees of today’s youth, compared to the numbers gathered by their parents or earlier generations.The younger folks have more degrees. They must be smarter.
The college degree has also become a panacea for what ails the American economy.
Rubbish! No report on the subject is broken down to what today’s college degrees are worth in terms of knowledge, nor job practicality, compared to the past.
What do you do when looking for a job with an-easy-to-get degree in social science or political history? Or tennis? or whatever cockamamie subject today’s kids take for the years they waste on campus, while wasting their parents’ tuition and taxpayer subsidy funds.
In the past, youngsters learned trades, often without fancy college diplomas to hang on the walls. They were often smarter too. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
