Some for the promise of a better job, some for the notorious party scene, some because they weren’t quite ready to face the “real world” right after high school and some because their parents gave them no other option. High school teachers have one prerogative: pre- pare their students as best as possible for college. College professors have a slightly different goal: prepare their By Brittany Jordan students as best as possible for the work force. But what kind of jobs are we promised? Parents and teachers have told us about the allure of college under the impression that when we graduate and receive that diploma, we are promised a better and higher paying job. We’ve been told that, while it’s only a piece of paper, a bachelor’s degree is ultimately what will make or break our career. But it simply doesn’t look like that’s the case any longer. According to the Wall Street Journal, in an article by Jason Notte, 284,000 American college grads were working minimum wage jobs last year. Because of those numbers, The Center For College Affordability and Productivity tells us that half of graduates are working in jobs that don’t require a bachelor’s, while 38 percent work jobs that don’t even require a college education. These are dim statistics to students that are spending an extraordinary amount of money for that fancy piece of paper at the end of it all. This either tells me that college is becoming the larg- est waste of money known to man, or it is the only way for someone to survive in today’s economy. If someone with a bachelor’s is stuck asking “do you want fries with that?” at the nearest Mickey D’s, what does that mean for someone with a GED?
