260,000 graduates in minimum wage jobs

If you thought paying tens of thousands of dollars for a college education guaranteed a high-paying job, think again.

About 260,000 people who had a college or professional degree made at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    For one, it's important to make sure your kids majors in something significant. Getting a degree in communications or art history and such will guarantee you a job at Starbucks. At some point you have to make sure your kids have actual goals. There are significant shortages of engineers, chemist, doctors, nurses, etc. Lead them there or never clear out their room when they leave for college.

    Keep listening to the democrat mantra that "education" is the key to everything. Their banker buddies who profit dearly from the student loans count on people following this fallacy blindly.

    There are no shortages of doctors or nurses 11:46. The shortages are in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) areas. The problem is public US universities have been so "dumbed down" US firms are lobbying Congress to make it easier for foreign students to get work Visas to fill the positions.
    That's liberalism at work for you.
    The democrats have completely ruined this country.

    Good. Start at the bottom. A degree doesn't get you jack. Maybe you should have considered a good major, instead of "Women Studies", "Philosophy", and the like.

    My guess is over 50% are liberal studies majors. They need to find some communist stooge in government that can use them as a tool to make some real money.
