Most worked something totally unrelated and half lived at home 10 years after HS....even with a college degree.

More recently my brother has 3 friends that come to Vegas twice a year for music festivals and 2 of them are working at Lowes and a rental car place, until they are able to "break into the field that they got a degree in". Young people graduating already can't find employment in the field they got a degree in, just imagine if every single person got a degree? Like I said...those degrees wouldn't mean anything. They already don't.

KJ, there's a simple way around that. You have to qualify for college, and those who do not academically qualify do not get in and do not get their way paid. Thus, those who make the top 10 or 20% qualify and get their way paid. Everyone else picks up their own tab or does not go.

The majority of other western democracies do something like this. It does not benefit a democracy for any of their top 10% of students to not have access to the best (most expensive) educations. But that's the way it is here. Money dictates the quality of your education unless you are in the top half of one percent, academically.
