In reply to the discussion: 1 in 2 new graduates are jobless or underemployed that is Freakin 50% [View all]bluesbassman
(19,370 posts)11. "The counselor's main advice: Pursue further education."
Here's one of the main problems from my POV. Most of these colleges are treating themselves as a "for profit" enterprise. To let some 18yr old sign up for a creative writing degree because they have no clue what they really want to do, then after they graduate (with big $$ in loans racked up) tell them they need to continue their education (more $$) just to be employable is ridiculous.
The colleges are not preparing the majority of our young people for the future.
