For the 1st Time Ever, a Majority of the Unemployed Have Attended College

23rd May 2012

Read it.

For sufficiently large values of ‘college’. Those who have the education that somebody going to college 60 years ago are all employed. The others? Well, they spent a number of years at institutions calling themselves colleges.

    Did you even bother to read the post before making your snakry comments?
    A majority of unemployed have attended some college. Not ‘have a degree’. Having attended some college is the functional equivalent of having attended no college when it comes to a job search. It has nothing to do with the ‘intrinsic worth’ of either the attendees or the colleges.

    Though I agree that the proliferation of degrees in General Studies, Womens Studies, Advanced Puppetry, etc., are essentially no better–but yet no worse–than the old standbys of History, English, Philosophy, or Social Studies: i.e., of no specific use in locating or keeping a job.

    The lack of an edit function is kinda irritating. After all, WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!
