This thread is about the job market. Can you read?

So what do you suggest? Go protest? Anti-governments or what? Can you think?

Maybe part of the solution is doing something about the job market instead of entirely whining about college.

It's called Capitalism, free markets.

No one’s complaining — just calculating. Smart parents plan how to launch their kids. If you can afford college, great. If not, avoid the debt trap.

Not really, companies still hire, maybe not in the US, but they are hiring

And let's also a question the destruction of the job market. It's gone into a nose dive with this new administration.

Not everything is about politics, my friend. Most people are just trying to get by. When it comes to the job market, everyone knows it’s the rich who are consuming the world’s resources — and yes, elite schools and big corporations are part of that group. Everything is about profit...

I don't know that much about politics, but I have kids in college getting ready to graduate into this absolute crap job market. I sure wish they were graduating into the job market from the last administration. I can tell you that.

If companies want to layoff anyone they can layoff anyone anytime they want to even if your kids landed a job already... what's the difference? Governments don't own the private sectors.

No, but they react to market forces which react to government policies, and Trump's tweets.

I liked a very short time ago and there were a lot more United States jobs available other than ice agent.

I think it's not worth going into a lot of debt for private undergrad - so either there would need to be a lot of scholarships or family wealth to pay for it. Your child is going to get a lot more ROI on private grad school if that's the path they're on.

Lately, most of our new hires and interns have been from state schools — some even graduated in three years.

State schools can be great. The current job market is not.

Great! You just remind everyone to make conscious decision before committing on paying for expensive products

Yes. And not support trashing the job market for the state school grads in addition to others.

UVA in-state 4 years is about that price.

Are we 100% unemployed now? What's backing your trashing comments?
