Last time I checked it took both a man and a woman to engage in unprotected sex which can result in a kid with no means of support...........creating generational poverty.
Giving half the equation a free pass does not compute. This "men can't help themselves" thing is bs.
Men DON'T get pregnant..........and women PUPOSELY get preggers to scoop up the Baby Momma Bennies and/or extract bennies from the guy who knocked her up.
Do you support these scammer women........just because you are a woman???? Hey.........most rapists are guys, and I am a guy...............SO I WILL START SUPPORTING RAPISTS, YEEEEEHWAW!!!!
Who needs a Art History / French Literature double major???
Some kids are simply treating college as hobby. College is to get education you can later use in your professional career.
Fortunately not all kids go for art history / philosophy / gender studies majors...
Before badmouthing people with college degrees remember that it wasn't your mechanics, electricians or carpenters that made Internet reality.
My personal physician majored in art history.

How many Psychology majors graduate every year compared to the number of psychologists demanded in the economy? Engineering is the undergraduate discipline that is most like vocational training, and yet how many people who study Engineering get jobs as engineers? A lot of Engineering majors these days are working at Sales in Engineering firms. Why can't someone just study for the LSAT and BAR exam right after high school? Abraham Lincoln taught himself to be a lawyer. Was he an incompetent lawyer because he didn't spend 4 years and $100,000 in classrooms?
Maybe because the law is way more complex than when Lincoln did it. It is absurd to compare the preparation of a lawyer today to the prep of one almost 200 years ago.

Yes there are trade schools but they are not required to get into the field.
A master electrician willing to take apprentices is all it takes.
Acing algebra in 9th grade is not a pre-requisite.
Many learn the specific math needed for the job.
That's how the trades jobs worked. You graduated HS and became an apprentice.
You learned and studied on your own and when ready took your certification exam.
That was a pretty simplistic outline. Here's some more information about becoming an electrician. Electrician: Educational Requirements and Career Profile Candidates who hold high school diplomas or the equivalent may apply to become apprentices through various unions, such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers or the National Electrical Contractors Association. Completion of these 4-year programs allows apprentices to become journeymen and work on both construction and repair projects. . . .Apprentices receive approximately 600 hours of in-class instruction on safety principles, electrical circuits and blueprint reading. Aside from learning in the classroom, apprentices also receive on-the-job training under the supervision of experienced electricians. Apprentices may practice wiring outlets and soldering electrical components.
It's more than following a master electrician around.
]We also have an oversupply of people studying Social Sciences & History. Things which are essentially hobbies. These people are waiting tables until they're 50 y/o & complaining about their student loan debt.[/b] To address the under-supply of engineers, scientists & doctors we just import foreign students.
Oh man, LMFAO............I wish I could have spelled it out so clearly!
Most sane people should look to education as a way to gain skill/knowledge that will allows them to make a good living. They can study about the Moaning Lissa and Fred Neechee in their spare time.
Why does Obama think we need more overeducated, underskilled adults?
College is debt, college keeps young minds full of liberal mush longer and college means when they get out they will have no jobs. If there are no jobs and since these college kids never worked a real job will blame republicans after their 4 years of college liberalism and vote for more democrats to find ways to get them out of college debt. At the tax payer expense.
Because it keeps us slaves to the banks and therefore the government, who bails out the banks.
