What jobs are available for college dropouts?

Are we Brainwashed since childhood to Aim for University/College even though we now know that is not For Everyone?

  • College is not for everyone. Going to college etc only works with people with passion and leadership so that they can find some job or startup some company(even many of those are dropouts). And yet we keep creating this fantasy goal for kids to go to college when they grow up. Why? I think the govermennt has some diabolical plan to make us all into slaves to debt. So they keep sending messages to kids and parents that going to College should be our goal. And they make it more necesary by putting requirements of Degrees in order to get many company jobs.

  • Answer:

    Every person should learn something that relates to an occupation. Yes, higher education has become extensively popular; however, the highest rates of growth are in majors that lead to ambiguous career paths, such as leisure studies (increase of over 40% since the early 2000s, versus about 16% increases in engineering). History is the second most popular major in the USA - yet what does one do with a history degree? Meanwhile, fields that are related to fundamental technological growth, such as mathematics and pure sciences (physics, chemistry, pure biology - as opposed to "applied sciences," like engineering or biomedicine) are either declining, remaining stagnant, or showing very low growth levels in comparison to liberal arts majors.

College isn't for every one. Look at all the graduates who did not score in the top 5-10 % of the class. Look at what they're doing. It isn't what they went to school for and to top it off, they have a debt which will probably take ten years to pay off.

I agree. I have a 14 year old that just picked out his high school classes... All of them for 4 years. They pushed college and had them choose classes based on college goals. At age 14. My gosh it starts early. Btw- we told him college is honorable, but not required. Pick an ideal field or two and get as much knowledge as you can from classes and volunteering. His HS also offers vocational training so he's signed up for computer training as well. Hopefully it gives him a soft place to land while he decides what he wants later.

The only thing a university education tells anyone is that you are intelligent and have the power to stay on with a project.
