Time to Change the conversation about college

Loyalty & Respect
I was reading two articles today about job struggles among recent graduates. On article cited a survey of 2011 graduates where 85% of the respondents claimed that they planned to move back home after school. The other stated that just over 50% of surveyed students who graduated between 2006-2010 had full time jobs.

This is bad all the way around. Student loan debt is slowly building up to be the next financial bubble. In the past, one could go to college, major in anything they want, get a degree and have a pretty good chance of landing a decent paying full-time gig after. Those days are long gone. We need to shift to a honest conversation about the realities of today's job market, the need for internships, the competitiveness of certain degrees. You have to come to college with a strategy at hand in 2011.

It has never been this high because the enrollments of 4 year and 2 year schools are up and triple that of what they were 20 years ago. :idea:

and unemployment rates of college graduates are higher than they were 20 years ago. Who benefits when more kids go to college if they can't find jobs capable of paying for those loans.

You can't major in B.S. and expect to find jobs. Also, some folks just need to go to tech or trade school.

I totally agree.. beisdes the moral issues we at the bottom of (another topic).. We are at the bottom due to a lot of politcal policy such as some of the issues you named...
I just don't we should just roll over and accept the same "system" that's been controlled by you know who since for ever.. If we going to do that.. We should take our licks and never complain...

perfect example.. the SUNO/UNO issue is over.. but they are still working on getting what they want...Yes it is a state issue.. and it is an unfair state issue that is being handled by a "wanna be" white republican... Obama stepped in on Mexico issue..."helping" he illegal imigrants... Shyt right now I would atleast settle for a few KIND words from this black man on our behalf... we both know no one can say..."WELL what did SU alums do about it"..
