[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won't stop. The more accessible formal education is, the less valuable it is on the market. Supply and demand.[/quote]

And people can't make a good living with working class/ blue collar jobs. What are we going to do, America?[/quote]

Really?  Ask your plumber what he makes. Now ask your electrician. [/quote]

Don't delude yourself: most blue collar people are not working in a skilled trade. I'm talking about the nannies, restaurant employees, maintenance workers, fast food workers, big box store employees, etc etc etc. These jobs are essential to our society and our economy. It is unsustainable and unjust that the only jobs that offer living wages and benefits are those that require (at minimum, as we can see) a bachelor's degree.[/quote]

I distinguish blue collar work from service work. Trade and trained (think construction) employees can make a living or very good wage, but it is hard long term and requires a lot of foresight for future financial planning.[/quote]
