Today a bachelor's degree is the same as this

Agreed, but high school diplomas are covered by the state. If a bachelor's is the new hs diploma, it should be covered as well.

yeah, but then you have to be a welder.

For a board full of people claiming 2-3 degrees, the fascination with shitty blue collar jobs is odd.

yeah, belly up to the bar with a SJW Degree like gender studies,

This is such a myth- most people attending college go to state school and major in things like communication, marketing, biology, education, etc.

You need to learn the quote function. I have no idea what you're referring to

Sure, I agree with you about the majority of majors. But my point still stands, these type of degrees are increasing at rates that would surpise most anyone. They scream for more dollars and increased faculties and it is a dollar grab from the university and the taxpayer. You cannot turn them down or the professors wil label you a racist. Bigot, those "ist" words. Look at this deal that Clemson is taking off on. What a waste of taxpayer money in the state of South Carolina. But you got a group of people with an agenda and a money grab!
Here is the bottom line, Universities are trying to create an "enlightened" class of people, but here is the catch, they are doing that with an absence of "morals".

What degrees do you hold?

Am I the only one who doesn't think 35k is that bad?

I guess I might be tough if you have a lot of student loan debt, but if you're coming out of a state school (relatively) debt free, you can easily live on 35k for a year or two to get started.

You missing the point jackass. It has nothing to do with them finding a job, they are getting paid less than baby boomers, to do the job..

Demanding jobs still pay. People don't want manual labor or demanding jobs. If so, they could make much more than 30k.

In the 70s work was physically hard and lacking technology.

no shite. wading in crap or welding everyday would suck. demanding jobs are also stagnant. unless you own your own shop, you'll always make the same as a welder, drafter, plumber, etc. a lot of white collar jobs don't start out that great these days but have a much higher ceiling to advance to if you work hard and are likable.
