Upper education used to open doors. Not so true anymore. The degree used to be a screening tool, but that is falling by the wayside as there are a glut of college grads on the market.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Universities used to prepare young adults for the real world. I dare say the graduates today go in without a clue and graduate without a clue. It's time to acknowledge the college degree is not worth what it was in the past. Times are changing, and so is the way we prepare our youth to survive in a competitive world.
A high school and college degree are linked to greater employment prospects, higher earning potential, and the ability to contribute more to our communities.
Access to high-quality education is way too limited. The United States has the world's most admirable higher education system, and yet it is very restrictive. It's so hard to get into. I never got into it as a student.
It seems everyone knows a college degree is important, but few have a plan to keep it affordable.
In America today, a young person needs more education after high school just to have a chance to make it in the middle class. Not a guarantee, just a chance to make it.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Upper classes are a nation's past; the middle class is its future.
Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.
A college degree is the key to realizing the American dream, well worth the financial sacrifice because it is supposed to open the door to a world of opportunity.
Access to a college degree is critical.
