That's a pretty hopeful interpretation, and I like the fact that you state that people can actually pursue an education rather than obtaining an education for training reasons and the job market. <br /><br />However, we should also be mindful that there are millions of people drowning in student loan debt, and I am most concerned about them. So, here's what I say:<br /><br />1) The Obama Administration needs to act swiftly and help those who are drowning in student loan debt<br /><br />2) Unless things are radically reformed I think we should go on a campaign across this country, and tell people that going to school isn't worth it - I'm serious.Cryn Johannsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452412213997621242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481083477379506990.post-14493115384085754552009-12-17T08:59:31.920-05:002009-12-17T08:59:31.920-05:00The great news for young people is the future empl...The great news for young people is the future employment landscape --most people will not have traditional employment with big companies, but will perform necessary services such as vegetable gardening in neighborhoods and local communities-- will be infinitely more about what you know and what you can do than what big name school is on your resume.<br /><br />This even more removes the "need" to go into debt to get a degree. Young people are now free to not take on debt, and to actually get an education rather than a degree.<br /><br />We just need to be ever vigilant about spotting the misinformation in the news like you point out above. That is so we can keep focused on the new much better reality.John Andersenhttp://www.unconventionalideas.comnoreply@blogger.com
