I think the idea that everyone has to go to college is a factor in this.
Many of my friends from undergrad ended up graduating with a mountain of debt, but unable to find jobs requiring a college degree.
This forces them to compete for low income jobs (that traditionally don't require a degree), while in the weak bargaining position of being desperate for money just to stay afloat and short on experience.
- undersuit 8y agoI think the idea that everyone has to have a place to live is a factor in this. Many of my friends from who used to live with their parents ended up moving into a low-end apartment that cost market rates, but unable to find housing that they could actually afford. This forces them to compete for available rentals units (that traditionally don't require an outsized down-payments), while in the weak bargaining position of being desperate for any thing considered a luxury just to stay alive and short on money. OK, sorry for the crappy rewrite. I'm just upset about the idea that we might look at reducing the levels of education in the United States because our employers don't need them.
