I don't know if I'm the "older" generation, since I'm 52,( ) but boy do I understand.  My parents harped on me about how important an education is, like if I have a degree, I'll never have to worry about work or money. They didn't even let me work while in school, cause education is so important. THEIR generation got told the same thing, but for that group, working hard got you ahead. Not now.
What a joke! In this country now, even people with advanced degrees can't get jobs in their field, and they are told they are "overqualified" to work at places like McDonald's. WTF? How are they to earn any #$^&*@ blasted money at all?????!!!!!!!
Also, I don't think the solution is that people without advanced degrees need them. The solution is that there needs to be jobs created for them. They are not dummies. Besides, like I said earlier, an advanced degree doesn't guarantee anything now. There's no such thing as a secure job anymore.
