In case you have not already noticed, our system, our way of living is not producing the things that it said it would produce. College graduates are applying for the same jobs that people without high school diplomas are applying for. I have a friend who graduated with his degree in Art and Theater, he works at Ruby Tuesdays...with the increases in tuition and rising debt left and right, college graduates are not becoming an asset to society but they are adding to the number of growing unemployment. The degrees with the highest chances of getting hired include business,engineering,medical professions, and mass communications. But where does that leave people who studied theater, or art history, how about the social sciences such as anthropology or sociology. Read a report that 1 in every 4 college students that graduate do not get a job within their field of study, all those countless hours writing research papers amount to nothing outside the comforts of your university. Of course you can always learn life lessons from your experiences but those lessons will not get you out of your debt from student loans. Our system is crashing we were feed a belief that going to college meant gaining independence, starting your career. How many college graduates live with their parents not because of choice or convenience, but out of necessity to make sure they can survive the "American Dream"
