Considering 1 in 3 companies have reached the point where they are dropping the need for college altogether for most roles offered; despite the percentage of college graduates having never been higher, should be enough of a sign that college is slowly becoming a training charade.

Meanwhile, we’re also at the point where 52% of graduates are underemployed within a year of graduation, and 45% still are after a decade. Employers don’t care nearly as much anymore. Tell your children their odds of it working out are literally flip a coin, and it changes the conversation.

I’m encouraging my kids to be entrepreneurs or go into the trades. College is a joke to extract fiat from unsophisticated consumers via non dischargeable government backed debt. If they end up unemployed or underemployed, cheaper to do it without the paper credential.
