Don’t Go to College!
29th May 2015
John Stossel is agin it.
College has become a scam.
Some students benefit: those with full scholarships and/or rich parents so they don’t go deep into debt, those who love learning for its own sake and land jobs in academia and those who get jobs that require a college credential.
But that’s not most students.
Half today’s recent grads work in jobs that don’t require degrees. Eighty thousand of America’s bartenders have bachelor’s degrees.
The problem is that high schools suck so badly that businesses have to require a college degree in order to get employees who are as educated at what used to be considered a high school level. Don’t blame business, they’re just doing the best with the materials they’re given.
