Right now, we've got college grads who are flipping burgers or greeting cutomers at WalMart for a living because the jobs they'd trained for were eliminated, shipped overseas, or given to foreign guest workers willing to do the same jobs for a fraction of what Americans can afford to live on.
What's the point of even going to college, of going thri all that time trouble, money, and effort, usually running up thousands of dollars worth of loans in the process, if the only jobs that will be available when they graduate are ones that anyone with a 6th or 8th grade education, certainly anyone with only a high school education, can easily do? Any way you cut it, relegating educated, skilled people to unskilled manual labor jobs is a waste of resources. What kind of motivational message does that send today's youth? "Study hard, get good grades, and graduate, and maybe someday you'll get to flip burgers or stock shelves at WalMart too"? This may be part of why the dropout rate is so high- I mean why should kids even bother with education when the jobs being created don't require it? I'm afraid if this continues, it may well end up where about the only "jobs" available to most American-born citizens who aren't well-connected, other than the military, will be as drug traffickers, car thieves,identity thieves, con artists, armed robbers, muggers, burglars, pimps, and prostitutes. |

Probably the wisest thing that well educated workers should be doing is to leave the USA for Europe of Canada.
America has become essentially unfair and unfriendly towards its own people as it welcomes job stealing illegals and send the rest of the good jobs overseas. The best and the brightest are no longer rewarded but punished for living in the USA. Just as most of the well educated classes in Iraq fled to other nations to escape the downfall, so too, is it time for the smart to seek greener pastures. America has become essentially in its political operating nature, therefore, there is no reasonable hope for meaningful change in the coming years. The solution is not wasting time and effort trying to fix a broken and belligerent nation, but getting out of its path as it self destructs. |

Is for every college grad there are one or two parents that work for the same companies that are selling out their children! And for every 3 out of 4 college grads out there , that 4th one has landed a job making 6 figures at 25 years. Another reason why American corporations are a joke!

Born in America=
No Prosperity No Rights No Country No Future No Life |
What do you expect. No long term vision for America! Even if USA survive the present danger, it is blunt obvious you have sold all your strength to the so called 3rd world country. In feature you have to beg for bread or investment as British Priminister did 2 weeks ago. Begging China to invest in Britain while closing down the British industry??? Is this Oxford economics???
Does still fat Americans cry for tax cut?
Bless u you stupid people - What do I expect from cow boy economist!!!
