My wife's brother put his oldest through college and almost went bankrupt in the process. She came out with a useless degree which got her a job at a daycare. She's since quit that job to become a yoga instructor. She went into college very conservative and religious. She came out of college a raving lunatic leftist. Texas Tech was the crime scene.

There are a million stories like yours unfortunately. I have been saying Trump cleaning up the MSM and then the problems in the post secondary education should be Priorities 1 & 2 of the new term. Unfortunately there is much to be resolved from this first term however.
There needs to be a serious study done on young adults coming out of colleges who are underemployed, Colleges teach theory and no practical thinking-on-your-feet work experience.
The only reason companies hire college graduates primarily is because they know they are seriously in debt and cannot afford to quit a job on a whim. Most are only one pay check away from going bankrupt in many cases. So what they save on Human Resources costs, they lose by having to teach college kids how to actually work in a business - a poor trade off.
I was very fortunate I am continually self taught and smart enough to it it to use very quickly.
I look at the entire situation like this. When you want to get a dog for your family, where do you go? Do you spend a lot of money on a dog from a breeder with a pedigree and papers that usually ends up having a bad disposition because the breeders are only in it for the money? Or do you go to the SPCA and give a dog a second chance who will love your family unconditionally and protect them to show its thanks? It’s an easy choice for me,
