[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, no. High school degrees rarely came with a mountain of debt. And college attendance isn't legally required. [/quote] You know what I meant. :roll: [/quote] These are important differences if only because they suggest that BAs will inherently be a smaller percentage of the population than HS grads and because they mean that people have more of a choice (and more of a reason for questioning) whether they should pursue a BA. It's also that case that BAs have certain "reserve army of the unemployed" strategies that are not available to people who didn't go to university (e.g. grad school, TfA, internships), so their difficulty finding employment may be less obvious. And if their parents have money, the degree to which recent grads are or are not self-supporting may also be less apparent. I definitely know people who are paying their kids' rent or subsidizing their kids' business ventures. [/quote]
