Consider this quote from cnnfn:
"While almost everyone agrees that U.S. grade-school education could
be better, some critics doubt education is the only answer to
outsourcing, noting many unemployed workers already have advanced
degrees.
In January, for example, there were more unemployed workers 25 or
older with college degrees than there were unemployed workers without
high school diplomas, according to the latest Labor Department data."
SO? GO TO COLLEGE AND JOIN THE RANKS OF THE UNEMPLOYED!
Everyone knows that the real test of "employability" is the ability
to WORK CHEAP! And, it helps to show up on time and be reasonably
sober.
SO WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL SPENDING A FORTUNE TO GO TO COLLEGE, AND
BECOME ESENTIALLY "UNEMPLOYABLE!"
What Dubya and Greenspan et al, have been talking about lately is
improvment in grade school and community college education, NOT
UNIVERSITY LEVEL EDUCATION WHERE THERE IS ALREADY A BIG GLUT!
The Republican notion of a "good worker" is someone who is CLEAN AND
SOBER AND WORKS HARD FOR LITTLE MONEY!
NO WONDER ALL THE JOBS ARE GOING TO CHINA AND MEXICO AND OTHER PLACES
WHERE PAUPERS ARE THE PREDOMINANT POPULATION!
IN AMERICA TODAY, NO AMOUNT OF EDUCATION CAN SAVE YOU!
YOU BETTER "KNOW SOMEONE" OR "KNOW SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMEONE" IF YOU
WANT TO MAKE A LIVING WAGE THESE DAYS!
Finally, the TRUTH is coming out about the US Labor Market!
IT'S NOW OFFICIAL! COLLEGE IS BAD FOR YOU!
Postscript: Regular readers of this board probably know that we've
expressed this notion that college is bad for you a long long time
ago on this board. GLOOM AND DOOM! ALWAYS, AHEAD OF THE CURVE! But you probably already know that! Right?
