Poor-Achievement College-Degree Jobs

                   

I often review college problems and see whether many students actually ought to be attending.

                       

I suggest reading "Going Broke by Degree: Why College Costs Too Much," by Richard Vedder and "Faculty Lounges and Other Reasons and also Why You Won't Get the College Education You Paid For." by Naomi Schafer Riley. They have been around a Couple of years but should be constantly reread.

                       

In the Vedder book, for instance, you learn that two out of five students entering four-year study programs don't achieve a bachelor's degree after the sixth year. And that colleges accept these students because of the money they bring, usually government-guaranteed loans.

                       

Comments are quite instructive; you will learn why it appears so many of our Ivy-League graduates appear to be far dumber than ordinary plain-vanilla grads of the not-so-distant past.

                                           

Another example of college being useless: Vedder states there are 80,000 bartenders in the U. S. with bachelor's degrees, and17% of baggage porters and bellhops have college degrees, along with 15% of taxi/ limo drivers. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
