What ever happened to getting paid to learn as you worked your way up the ladder at the workplace.
I guess we are raising a bunch of idiots nowadays. That forty grand many people pay will take years to recover unless you choose the right line of work. Our system is teaching the young to think being in debt is the right way to spend your life.
Half the jobs out there don't need a college degree.

Yes, and good luck for all the computer geeks. They're competing with programmers in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Romania, etc., who are happy with $5 and hour or getting paid $100 for a small project.
Baby boomers retiring. Immigration borders falling down. Online competition.
There's is going to be a major collapse in the U.S.
That is what we have now, but this economy is very fragile, not like it was thirty years ago. Back then we had a good strong middle class that was not in debt and had savings in the bank. Now all their money is at risk in the stock market, in the hands of people who are experts at twisting reality. The stocks are not viable, the value is figured on future earnings, not on the true value of the companies. These future earnings can crumble in a stock crash.
