Reread and note the "experienced" unemployment rate for most of those jobs. It's a very well researched fact that liberal arts majors don't make the kind of money that technical and physical science type majors do. Why does that make them "useless?" Because you can make as much money with a high school diploma. |

So.... you'd go to school at full cost to you to get a job that you could get without a college degree? Figures. |

Because you can make as much money with a high school diploma. So, there is no value in education beyond the pay check! Oh, I get it, this is iBoaterer, never mind. I'm not aware of a liberal arts grad in my immediate circle of colleagues and acquaintances, about 50 men and women, who is making less than six figures a year, if that is any kind of standard, with the exception of a few classroom teachers. Most of us deliberately avoiding getting a "trade school education" in college, and attended for the value of what a good liberal arts education can help you achieve mentally. Back in the days before electricity, when I was an undergrad, I remained in the College of Arts & Sciences rather than take the offer of a transfer to the School of Journalism, not that I had anything against the school or journalists. The courses I wanted to take in the J-school were available to any university undergrad. Sadly, our society doesn't value with money those who give to society (teachers, firemen, police officers, nurses, social workers, et cetera) as much as it values with money those who take from society (bankers, stock brokers, senior corporate execs, MBAs, many lawyers, et cetera). |

Oh, I get it, this is iBoaterer, never mind. $200,000 dollars in debt and what do you get? No marketable skills and a $2,500 dollar a month student loan payment each month. |

I have run into a surprising number of people however with good educations but with no clue how to put that knowledge to practical use. There should be a mandatory college course called "Resourcefulness, Hustle and Problem Solving". |

Would you like fries with that? Well, apparently that high school diploma taught you suggestive selling. Congrats. It also taught me the value of a good work ethic, which has resulted in a very good standard of living. |

It also taught me the value of a good work ethic, which has resulted in a very good standard of living. A very good work ethic that taught you to belittle people that work at McDonald. Last time I checked, that was an honest living. Great accomplishment. Not everybody is so narrow as to judge quality of life by the size of the paycheck. However, if that floats your boat, have at it. Romney would love you, let the little people eat cake. Uh, that's Bar, not Harry you are responding to. |
