Ive been saying this for a while.

 

There are college grads who have to work minimum wage jobs, sometimes 2 and still live below poverty level. Or worse yet unemployed.

A college degree does not guarantee anything as far as wages go, and this is especially true depending on the kind of degree a person has obtained. 

 

If you were to ask many of the college graduates who have had to "settle" for lower paying jobs what their degrees are in, you'll find that many of them got useless degrees that do nothing to help their prospects in the real world.  I've got a daughter who is a junior in HS.  She's already thinking about colleges and courses of study.  She's very artistic, so naturally she wants to get a fine arts degree.  I've been trying to make it clear that she needs to make sure she has a degree that will help her once she graduates, otherwise all she's got is a piece of paper that cost her parents $100k or more that she can hang on the wall of her bedroom in our house when she can't find a job.
