I 'member my dad speaking of the same issue regarding when he was younger, how having a college degree did not guarantee finding a better job.

College, degrees, and jobs, oh my!

Guarantee, no.
Help, you bet.

Clearly, it's not helping either.

The reason? There are plenty of them, but chief among them are that people get BAs in Art History and English Literature and enter a saturated job market full of intellectuals that work until they die. I got a BS in Computer Science last year and got three job offers before I even had the diploma in hand. No diploma? No job.

^This. You need to get a degree for jobs that are in demand.

Registered Nurse here. I make decent money and am always in demand. Soon the nursing shortage will increase as the Baby Boomers become elderly and older nurses like me retire. 1.2 million nursing U.S vacancies by 2022.

Not necessary.
Helpful. And also, there are careers that require a shit load of training that might as well be a college degree. RN is one of them. Let's not pretend that this isn't a thread that says "education is stupid."

Not "education is stupid".
More like "higher education is not as beneficial as educators make it out to be". (May 20, 2018 at 7:30 pm)Kit Wrote:Great! There are so many areas you could go into. Also, in larger population centers there are so many vacancies you don't have to put up with your bosses shit. You just have to worry about your licensing agency and upholding their standards. Their standards are simply providing good care.(May 20, 2018 at 7:29 pm)chimp3 Wrote: Registered Nurse here. I make decent money and am always in demand.
