I don’t see the difference between a service industry job and a job for a college graduate. If you work, you get paid adequately to live. I think it’s pretty simple. Colleges pump out a bunch of useless graduates that can’t find work so I don’t think you model works anymore. These service jobs for better or worse are what most college graduates are finding and there is nothing they did wrong. We shouldn’t punish people for macro conditions.

Higher paying jobs usually involve something that makes you harder to replace. For jobs that require college education, that’s several years of school in a high demand field. Most of the college students getting service jobs chose their major poorly. For other high paying jobs there’s a willingness to do work that is hazardous or very unpleasant.

Rather than have students research and understand employment potential in a given field before investing in that field, you would instead encourage them to ignore that and depend on an alternate career in the service industry to pay for living expenses?
