Maybe over-educated is a kinda tricky term to define????
But under-skilled.........lots of those. Go to college and run-up tons of debt.....and with that degree, you don't have any skills that will equate to a good salary in the REAL world.
Wow, a degree in Cultural Studies.....hum??????
My niece has a degree in Women's Studies, $80K student loan debt and a job as a receptionist at a daycare center.
Today you need 4 yrs of college to get a good job if you do not have any school after high shcool you make 30% less over your life time then some extra school that is why he is pushing it. Do you want to work only make $10 to $15 a hr or do you want to make $75k+ with extra schooling
He seems very concerned with making sure these 18 year olds get money to go to college.
I'm sure he's been made aware that barely 30% graduate from a 2 year college and barely 50% graduate from a 4 year college yet he voices little concern over that.
And much of the reasons why people don't finish or get their degrees is due to financial issues - that will also help graduation rates.
Indoctrination. Ever notice how people right out of college all think the same? Green energy, no God, and the state knows best.
Absolutely right. Professional non-thinkers. Add in $5-$6 figures of student loan debt to make them dependent/thankful for their their vanishing/underpaying jobs & you've got a hearty dose of control over these people for years.
Because you end up with a LOT of debt slaves. As the government offers higher subsidy for education, colleges raise their prices to get more of that subsidy. And you end up with the costs that you have today
that and DOD are the big money makers not steel and car manufacturing.
for the black person college has proven to be the way up. diversity advocacy is there if you look .
but not for whites.
trades are the way up for most whites, not advanced degrees.too many advanced degree people looking for a manager job.
Yes, you nailed it, way too many want to be chief of admin......none of that ucky blue-collar work for me!!!!
Why does Obama think we need more overeducated, underskilled adults?
Because the world has become more complex, and we have an undersupply in many occupations requiring substantial education. We have an oversupply of undereducated folks chasing ever fewer jobs at that level.
Now you can pretend 2 arms and 2 legs will still get you a middle class job, or you can recognize the economy of 1873 doesn't exist anymore.

A good job can be had by combining a motivated individual with 1-2 years of trade school.
