It's called Capitalism, free markets.

It's called a s*** job market.

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?

So what do you want to do, send your kid to the army? Try to get a trade?

Parents should probably also consider the possibility of being laid off and their ability to pay.

Why not, if that's the only jobs left according to your logic

That's just for Art and Science.

Engineering is $51K+ and Business also comes close.

Nursing and Data Science also much more than $40383

God forbid college be about education, rather than churning out future workers.
