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 truly think that the way it is currently set up is a racket! And I will be the first to say that college isn't for everyone. Not everyone is cut out to be a doctor, or lawyer...ect...ect...

Yeah, you're right. Only the wealthy should obtain higher education.

Blame those so-called 'job creators' on their insane demands for working at McDonalds.

It only took 3 posts and the "everyone should get a college education" rant from the left has already started.

You can thank the greedy right wingers for shipping all the honest, good paying jobs to communist China just so they can line their pockets more.

Translation: I didn't go to college and now can't even find a job.
Interesting post given your username. I guess "VTHokieFan" does not mean "VTHokieGraduate"

the school system is a racuet. it is all about money. the government is wasting their (our) money creating all these prek programs. it is not the 4yr olds that drop out. how about the HS students. they are told that they need college. Rubbish!! not all can go to college. crap, most of them gotta take math refresher for college anyway, thanks to public HS education. albert einstein could not teach HS math becasue he did not have the certificate. that is truly stupid.

Thanks to liberals, everything requires a college degree
Thanks to liberals? No, thanks to capitalistic job creating private sector corporations who require a degree for certain jobs.

Is there anything in the article that demonstrates that liberals are the ones who demand that all jobs must have a college education as a qualification?
