Writing at the Center for College Affordability and Productivity blog Christopher Matgouranis shows how badly we have oversold college. He points to Bureau of Labor Statistics data on the prevalence of college degrees among those working in jobs that most high school students could easily learn, such as installing cable TV.
It is worth noting that this is not a recent phenomenon. College grads have been spilling over into “high school jobs” for many years.
Obama wants to substantially increase the number of Americans getting college degrees, but what does he think they’ll be doing?
