Yes I understand your point, but mine was that thirty - forty years ago nothing was out of reach for the working class high school drop out. A college education in specific fields isn't well within the reach of the average person.

I beg to differ. I graduated from HS 40 yrs ago. Even then, it was advantageous to have a HS education to work in the mills. In a few years, it all came crashing down in the steel industry. Anyone w/o an education was up s*** creek. A college education can be obtained by borrowing money, which most people think nothing of doing to buy a car.

Come to clearfield county if you want to see depressing - this is the "black hole." Industries have been moving out of here since the late 70's - early 80's and haven't come back. You are lucky if you can a little above min. wage here. I'm glad we are selling our home and moving west.

solancogirl,
Where did you get that from, that the majority of people coming into the state are retirees? I understand not moving away from PA after they retire but I've never heard of PA as a destination spot for new retirees. PSU is expensive, but the real state schools (West Chester, Kutztown, Mansfield, etc) are very affordable. |
