I am a freshman majoring in Business and Accounting but I am stating to doubt the need for a college education with all of the information available to me online. Should I stay in school and get my Bachelor’s or should I drop out and work full time and save up to help fund my small business?
I read an article yesterday that employers are increasingly disappointed with what schools have been turning out.
67 percent surveyed said four-year colleges and universities are not supplying the types of graduates needed for the workforce.
Surveyors concluded the “free market lacks confidence in a higher education system that has shifted its focus from academics to WOKE subjects like diversity, equity and inclusion.”
Here is how some employers view it.
“And if you hire someone who has been trained to be a Marxist and an anarchist for the last four years, do you think they’re going to do good things for your culture or bad things for culture?”
Put yourself in employer’s shoes. Do you want someone that knows income statement from balance sheet or someone that knows all there is about pronouns?
Who are employers turning to? The blue collar crowd because they actually know how to do things.
Grandson just graduated from high school. He went to trade school to become lineman for electric utility. Three month program cost $7,500.
He gets certified and CDL license. Starting pay around $25 an hour plus great benefits. There is plenty of overtime available ($37.50 an hour) and advancement potential.
He doesn’t own anyone a dime.
