Another new paper finds that colleges are increasingly the wrong way to go for good jobs, producing debt-ridden graduates who are “overeducated and underskilled.” Instead of college, Veronique de Rugy and Jack Salmon of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, suggested apprenticeships and on-the-job training will become the new norm if policymakers would “remove barriers to vocational skill-based alternatives to prepare the next generation for a continually evolving labor market.”
