this year it is chiefly Black and Latino students who want a shot at the economic opportunity that can come from a college degree.
Those morons are still pimping the blanket idea that a college education offers upward mobility.
IF that proposition is true, then why are so many students of all races finding it difficult to impossible to pay back student loans?
How about we step back and take a good, critical, long look at the actual value, or lack thereof, offered by the majority of degree programs on campuses nationwide? How about we address the erosion of rigor in many of these programs, leading to people with Bachelor's diplomas that are most useful as an emergency supply of toilet paper?
Having that piece of paper doesn't get you anywhere in the real world any more. Employers have been burned too often by snotty, know-it-all people armed with a diploma yet totally lacking in common sense, who wind up as worse employees than less "educated" people who are eager to be trained.
The real discussion needs to be centered on having students assess the real value of any degree program they are considering. You want to be an accountant, an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer? University programs might be worth the financial cost to attain the necessary degrees. But if you intend to spend $100,000K on Wymxn's Studies, or any of the plethora of useless "_________ Studies" out there, your parents, your guidance counselor, your true friends and allies need to step up and slap some financial sense into you before you make an enormous mistake.
