My son earned a business management degree and had a hard time finding a job. He had to work in a movie theatre as an assistant manager that didn't pay too well. He went to trade school and earned a CDL (Commercial Driver's License) for $5000 and now drives a truck for decent money.
A college degree can be expensive, and it does not guarantee a job, plus you have a huge student loan to pay off. That is why American Men think it is not worth it to go to college anymore.
- bravetraveler 2y ago> think it is not worth it to go to college anymore. They're likely right, too. Turns out... employers minds are elsewhere. The degree no longer serves as a useful signal. In nearly two decades I still haven't found cause to finish my degree. Hell, I don't even have to practice what I was hired for. Can often find the job is 'whatever we decide'. Education, in some/several senses, is undesirable. Instead of falling for it, may find it better to be too dumb to notice or too tough to care about hoodwinking.
- _mlbt 2y agoAdditionally going into the trades can mean joining the workforce immediately so that you can start early on buying a house and saving for retirement. Also military recruitment is way up, which is another avenue young men (and women) can take to acquire employable skills without going to college.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoBut why do American Women disagree with American Men on this?
- orionblastar 1y agoNot all women, there were some women in my son's class applying for the CDL. Generally, Women do not want labor jobs and enjoy a desk job instead. This is why men are paid more than women in general the labor jobs pay more and require a trade school.
