Great article from the New York Times. Even a $10/hour job as a document runner for this law firm requires a college degree now. All of this thanks to degree inflation, or shall I call it degree water down. All because liberals think everyone has the right to go to college. If one tries to even insinuate that maybe college might not be right for everyone. they throw a hissy fit.
I'm a liberal college professor. The majority of people don't belong in college.
By the way, I give you an 'F' in your use of logic.
What? NAFTA and the Pacific Rim NAFTA were Clinton's and Obama's doing.
Strange, my memory must be going. I recall NAFTA being signed by President Bush the Elder. However, since it was a treaty, then Congress had to approve it, and by then Mr. Clinton was the president. I also recall that the measure was passed by a majority of Republicans, both House and Senate.
I also recall Mr. Ross Perot urging against passage (the 'sucking' sound of jobs being lost).
What ever happened to getting a job at 18 and starting at the bottom? Now you gotta go into debt just to start at the bottom, and loose at least 2 working years. Lost income and debt... Wonderful way to start out in the world.
When I went to school, there were basically two paths to choose. You either went to college or you learned a trade. Today our young people are being steered away from the trades and being told that they won't be successful without college when the fact is that those who follow the trades are usually employed and over their first 4 years will out earn a recent college grad, depending on the degree program. We will always need carpenters, masons, electricians, plumbers, mechanics and the list goes on. If a young person pays attention, the opportunity for success can still reside in the trades. We only need so many social science degree grads.
