I am happy to say that today marks the start of WORTHLESS DEGREE AWARENESS MONTH!
If you really want to help the "children" June is the month where we ramp up the "raising of awareness" of the financially crippling dangers of worthless degrees! So since all those young adults are graduating from high school and about to go to college, June is the PERFECT month to have "the chat" with your kids about this very important topic.
And if you're a coward and never told your kid "no" but don't know how to broach the topic, buy them this book to do the job of parenting that you failed to do!
FYI, Holding Worthless Degree Awareness Month in June only helps the students applying next year. It is already too late for this year's cohort who have already been accepted to College/Uni or put on waiting lists. Just saying...
ReplyDeleteHow much of this worthless degree phenomena is due to the stagnant/declining economy? How much of it is due to mass immigration legal and illegal including H1B visas? I'd contend a college degree is still worthwhile at least for a certain price. It seems our problems are political problems requiring political solutions but not just any type of politics but revolutionary politics.
