- jschwartzi 10y agoWhat bothers me about this is that we're now telling 15-year olds to make decisions that they won't understand the outcome of until they're 30. If they're lucky like me then they might manage to end up in a decent career despite having a mediocre degree from a mediocre school. But life has been tremendously unfair to most of the kids I went to high school with, and it's because our high school was mediocre and our parents didn't have the money to make up for it. I shudder to think what the future will be like for my friends' kids.
- T2_t2 10y ago... which is the theme of the article! > Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates than the less educated so why are college students at Occupy Wall Street protests around the country demanding forgiveness for crushing student debt? The sluggish economy is tough on everyone but the students are also learning a hard lesson, going to college is not enough. You also have to study the right subjects. And American students are not studying the fields with the greatest economic potential.
