They seem to have forgotten to mention that the average person of the generation born in the 1990's will not retire until about 70, due to their excessive college debts (some in excess of 100,000 U.S. dollars). Nice infograph, but it about sums up what I've been discovering for years: the Bachelors Degree is the new High School Diploma and won't (on average) make you wealthy than your average counterpart who either got an Associates Degree, learned a trade, or didn't go to college at all.

I'm finishing my last year of High School right now, while I'm still trying to decide whether I want to go to college or not. I mostly lean towards going (mostly because I have a lot of people pointing me in that direction), but statistics like: 53 percent of all young college graduates in America are either unemployed or underemployed, certainly make me pause and reconsider. But that, is a decision to be made in the future and we all only live in the present.

Today just so happens to be my six-year anniversary of joining BZP. It also happens to be the day I celebrate my three-yeah pony anniversary (exact date is unknown, but it is sometime within this week). So, that is a thing. I shall celebrate by watching the first two season one episodes.

I'm working towards an Associates degree right now - I'm thinking of getting a couple of those. [Note: The author of this blog entry does not discourage youth from attending college.

The author of this blog entry also acknowledges bias coming from current life circumstances.] What I've found on this subject is degrees in stuffs like English and Classical Studies won't help you much, whereas degrees in technical stuff like Computer Science and Engineering will. But I've heard enough stories to know that if you really want a job with an English degree, you can find one - it's just that more graduates in the field don't know where to look and have trouble hunting, whereas with CS the workplaces go to colleges to recruit before you've even graduated.

My comment was really aimed at the idea that as long as you have a college degree (in anything) you will end up making more money than not. Of course, an extreme example of that fallacy is Maurice Johnson; a homeless man with two Masters Degrees. More common stories are about people who took out thousands of dollars worth of student loans in order to get degrees, only to wind up working jobs they could have easily gotten straight out of High School. In general though, being harder working, more driven and other stuff like that decides how much money you will make in life; regardless (mostly) of whether you got a college degree or not.
