The great American give up?

[Nash B.]

There are lots of people who never sat foot in school that do quite well because they have a skill that the world needs.

The world needs ditch diggers, too.

Having a degree is great! But also having a skill or a trade or even multiple trades will work just as well. There are lots of people who never sat foot in school that do quite well because they have a skill that the world needs.

This.

I disagree there are lots of jobs out there besides that. Alot of those people dont position themselves to learn new trades or skills so they end up there. This country has so much opportunity yet some choose to not take advantage of it. Your life will only be what you make out of it but its up to the individual.

I don't completely disagree, but give me a break with the rah rah rahing. This country has been steadily led into the shitter economically and employment wise for the last ten years. The rest of the world launching full scale war against us couldn't have done a better job dismantling this country than our own politicians have.

I get a kick out of the degree holders that get pissy when they arent making more than some poeple without degrees. I dont think that having a degree is a bad thing, but I find it intesting that some of the people I know that make good livings dont have degrees, and then ones that I do know that have them dont make shit.

And then there's the college grads that wont take a "regualar job" because they have a degree. I guess they would rather sit on mom and dad's couch than to put in a days work.

So if you dont have a degree you get stuck digging ditches? That's a bunch of bullshit.

The "pie" is getting smaller... as designed.

and it's good to have some fallback skills, and multiple capabilities, such as car hauling for hire

Someone explain chart please!

Not trying to be a cheerleader but its not as bad as it could be in other parts of the world they would love to have the opportunity Americans have.

More proof that the 90's were fucking awesome.

The chart has "Month" on the X axis when it should have "Year". Someone without a degree must have generated this chart.

[Captain Crawfish]

wheres the chart of amount of people on welfare over the past years? why participate when you can get a free check?

Fun with statistics:

The Bill Clinton administration made it so.

Yes, that's exactly what it means.
