Gen Z men with college degrees now have the same unemployment rate as non-grads—a sign that the higher education payoff is dead

[Amo Husserl]

Jobs been outsourced, jobs being outsourced, jobs being automated, job market oversaturated with bachelors degrees. Today's price ain't yesterdays.

I always saw this as a sign that students are picking the wrong majors compared the market demand.

I'll go a step further and say that it's a sign that students are picking the wrong majors in general.

The education system was built for indoctrination. Not for building your knowledge of how things really work.

You will have to educate yourself, and know where to find the truth yourself.

Now you have a bunch of people in debt, that have to go to work as slaves to the system.

You said a bunch of nothing. Congratulations

By a show of daps, how many people read the article?

Degrees still have value. Part of the issue is that colleges don't prepare students for the workforce. People, I included, expected to get a job quickly after graduating. Especially with a CS degree.

You have to treat your career as a vital part of your life and put it in the work to stand out and not expect that a degree is just going to get you in the door.

I will give you this quick neg.

That 11% NEET stat is more alarming.

What’s the salary for the men with degrees with jobs though … degrees usually pay more long term …

The Coli Excuses will come in

1. Breh, College is for networking
2. Hey Dummie, Picked the Wrong Major
3. Better Have a Plan, unless you want to be flipping burgers
4. Shoulda picked a trade
5. You can still go to the military

I'm sure I missed a few, but it's the typical lack of analysis and inability to see a problem with new eyes.

You pretty much nailed all of them… and of course coli brehs will compare the market from when they graduated 20 years ago to the current job market, as if they are exactly the same climate

Remember this when they pull the vague statistics that claim women are making more in their 20s compared to men.

Not even STEM is safe at the moment. Will it bounce back? Sure, question is for how long.

And none of that will make you less of a vacuous idiot.

yes, and no. They aren't to blame for people not hiring. But they are perfectly capable of looking up which degrees are in demand before choosing a major.

Thread literally referenced the unemployment rate. You can look that up while you are in school. You don't have to wait four years to find out its trending downward.

And the millions who are too far in debt and/or their studies, to pivot their education to match job landscape that changes every 6 months are SOL? These the same things I heard in 2012 when I graduated in the worst economy in recent memory:

- I'm hungry, technically homeless, juggling PTs and nearly 70k in debt before graduation "Should have got an in-demand degree"
- I graduate and the only FT jobs require 2 years industry experience. "Should have got an intership while you were in school"
- After years of grinding my youth away into a sleeping disorder, I get a great job, but I'm so far behind the previous generations were at the same age in life. " No family, or a house....Should have spent your money better in your 20s"






The younger Gen Z is on track to get hit even harder than I did. No wonder they want to be streamers. Every generation shyts on the previous one and we steady trying to figure out why things get worse. The game is rigged and everyone is in on it.
