Fully agree here Nono. I just wanted to nip the "Bill Oreilly said it" thing in the bud.
tbh, he isn't wrong about having a degree, especially some (finance, law, medicine), giving you a better shot. But I feel we're discussing two different things here.
44% of Americans don't have a college degree. That's almost half the population. Thinking they all can just get a loan, enroll in school, and live off thin air for the next few years is simply unrealistic.
Frankly, the whole "those jobs aren't coming back" line is really BS too. We've to be patriot enough to bailout some of these guys, but they don't have to be patriot enough to put country over bottom line. I'm not saying they should lose money hiring American, but a bunch of these companies are hoarding money and still hire in India/China, and they will use alleged hiring Americans as leverage to gets some tax holiday to bring in the tax money they've been evading for a while. Some of it is really disgusting stuff.

I'd like to see the unemployment rate for people who have graduated college since 2008. That would be more telling.

Somewhat helpful, but I have no idea how to read it.
Obviously if everyone went out and got a college degree, that would lower the overall employment rate to 4.1% because, as we all know, when 1000 people graduate from college, 959 jobs just appear from magic job dust.
No, there's no such thing as magic job dust. What gets you a job after college is being desperate enough to work for less than 10.00 an hour, share an apartment with 2 other dudes, and eat Ramen for 2 years until you've saved up enough money to afford a girlfriend and your monthly MMORPG subscriptions without help from your parents.
It's not magic job dust, homie. It's simply the grit and determination to just get by, and then after that just get by comfortably.
Pshhhhh, magic job dust. Who the would manufacture something like that anyway? Who controls the means of production on that ? That's what I thought, cuz it don't ing exist.
No idea, but the unemployment numbers regularly quoted do not include unemployed who are not looking for work.
LOL...
You forgot the blue text.
