RE: Debt Doesn't Work In an Ever Changing Job Market
We're not removing people who work but do not have enough to have a living wage, we're counting people who work temporary jobs or multiple jobs to meet their living requirements,
The Under-Employed. People with college degrees working at Walmart and such are very common.
Will say that in many areas of the US that if you are half way skilled in the right fields you can find a job in less then a week with minimal effort.
Part of the issue with many that can't find work is they think a degree in the Arts or some other bullshit degree means they are ready for the real world. Nobody told them it's great to love Irish Dance, but once your out of college you need a degree that will actually allow you to support yourself. Instead they tell her follow her heart...blah blah blah...problem is except for a few amazing dancers nobody makes a living in dance. Without a real degree you spent $180k to have fun dancing for 4 years and now need to go back to school and get a real degree. Obviously this is about someone I know...by the time she was done she had nearly 400k in student debt and starting working a real job 7 years later then most her piers as she tried for years to find a way to make that Arts degree work for her.
Oh yes, that too is a problem where overkilled labour is pushing out unskilled labour who are of course the most vulnerable. That's still good to know, I wonder how my skills as an SEO would fair in the US market and if I could make a decent living accounting for the cost of living etc.
If you're going to have passion degree you either need to use it to start a business like your own little dancing school for example or be someone's trophy partner lol. Educational institutions are irresponsible they're happy to take your money and saddle you with debt but don't tell you there's any market for this overpriced skill. Courses are not costed on their ability to generate an income which means its completely artificial.
I can't understand how anyone would sign up for 400k in student debt its complete madness.
