The above chart series is why I consider getting the highest education possible a categorical imperative. As much as we snark about the English grad student barista - the barista is doing better than the high school dropout who hasn't worked for years because his industry is as flaccid as a used balloon, and he has no other serious skills.

- nupark2 16y agoWhat guarantees that the high school drop-out's industry is "as flaccid as a used balloon"? As a high school drop-out in the computer industry, the industry does not seem the least bit "flacid" to me. Of course, I also had comparatively wealthy parents and an otherwise privileged upbringing, very similar to that of many individuals that comprise the lowest unemployment bracket.
