I believe this statement about college guaranteeing a job has become the poster-motivational-tool used on kids and parents in an effort to motivate them. Concerning failing graduates: I think the problem is that many graduates today are at the uncomfortable crossroads of existing in a knowledge economy after passing through an education system pushing an industrial age mindset. They need to take a step back and realize that passively sitting in 1000 seats in 1000 classrooms for 1000 weeks following 1000 instructions does not equate to what's considered real competency in a targeted job area and in general a happy and successful life. Maybe there should be a warning attached to every college application: Warning: The shiny glorification of what a college education actually provides you may cause blindness to reality.
