In a such a weakened economy it is no wonder that 1 in every 2 new college graduates are jobless. The terrifying statistics state that more college graduates are forced to settle for jobs that don't fully use their knowledge or their skills, and instead choose to settle for jobs as waiters or baristas. Although it is true that the average student that goes to college makes more money than a highschool grad, this case is not always true. The failing economy is allowing more and more students to accumulate college debt with no way to pay it off.
Personally an article like this is especially scary as I begin to reach the end of my highschool career. It would be nothing short of a nightmare to accumulate massive amounts of college debt only to go right back into the workforce that I would have been in without any extra education. Hopefully the economy will improve, but just in case I plan to get a broad major that is applicable to many fields so I can be the 1 in every 2 that does have a job.
