The article starts with a discussion about science graduates, but it’s primarily about the weak job market for college graduates in general.
Unfortunately, college degrees are not a sure fire way to get hired in today’s economy, but they are essentially needed, unless you plan on going into some trade.
- macspoofing 8y ago>but they are essentially needed Kind of. College degrees replaced high school degrees as a baseline for general knowledge. It used to be the case that a high school degree meant you had some general knowledge of math, history, geography etc., with an above average level of literacy and a reasonable level of intelligence. High school degrees do not mean any of those things anymore. Many kids who graduate with a high school degree are functionally illiterate (1 in 5 graduates).
