What most people here say are STEM fields are normally much more a payoff than the humanities type degrees. So choose wisely and keep costs low as possible. Also, community colleges can be a good option. These 2 year schools can offer education in many of the trades such as welding, electrical, instrumentation, process technology, etc. You are inventing narratives.

Outstanding effort OP! State of the art formatting and delivery of your attempted 'gotcha' point that you thought was so so clever.

I generally disagree. Colleges are still providing education employers value however the increase in worthless or unmarketable education has significantly increased.

So a Ph.D only gets you 105,000 per year.

That kind of sucks.

Is that why you didn't post it?



Why in the world would a board loaded with post-grad folks not want to see that chart?

Things we've kown forever. Yet the higher the attainment, the greater the chance of under employment today.

So Why are college grads bitching about their loans if it's so beneficial?

Explain that to me.

I did that, achieved the highest degree possible, and I make bank, but I have friends that are in construction, 2 plumbers, one is a fiber optic cable splitter, etc and may do better than I do, for all those years I gave up, putting my head in those books. Don’t discount trades, they are in demand and doing just fine

Perhaps you should be handing this information out to parents who aren't involved enough with their kids to help them develop good study habits. If you have a failing school, chances are extremely good that the surrounding community is poor, uneducated and does little more than give lip-service to the idea of education being important. There's usually also a high degree of one-parent homes, alcohol and/or drug abuse and violent crime.

Education has to start with behavior and behavior starts in the home.

Welp I’m convinced. Sounds like no reason to be bailing them out from under their student loans.

Bravo.

Getting my graduate degree was a big moment for me. But I’m sorry Sir, I’m being unprofessional. This is a drive thru. Would you like me to supersize your order for you, Sir?

Because they spent 2 years finding themselves, a year doing study abroad and then decided to major in Art History or AA studies. They broke the bank getting a worthless piece of paper with no real marketable skills.

Where does it note the negative effects of liberal indoctrination upon our society?

They also learn how to pitch a tent, how to do graffiti, pray to A la, break into the college libraries and destroy stuff. Some actually major in these things.

Most of the $300k fishing boats that do the kingfish tournament circuit are owned by blue collar business owners.

Learn a trade. Start your own. Fortune to be had.
