Umm, not sure about that ... I'm not saying college kids don't party too much or that degrees aren't worthless to some degree.
But I think it's clear that this statistic shows that there's more competition for fewer jobs.
At the very least, a college degree isn't worthless if it's required to enter the field you wish to work in. Browse Monster.com and see how many finance and/or engineering jobs don't require a college degree.
From your tone, I'm gathering you have problems with people who equate a college degree with skills/ability ... you're more than welcome to feel that way, but I don't think you're proving such a consensus has caused the drop in graduates w/ jobs.

A college dropout
- nostrademons 17y agoA lot of advertisements claim to require a college degree even if the company is perfectly willing to hire qualified applicants without one. They do this to cut down the number of applications they have to wade through. The type of dropout that they're actually willing to hire will probably apply anyway, regardless of what the ad says, and it weeds out a lot of chaff that isn't qualified and is just looking for a job, any job.
