This figures don't tell how many real careers graduates find jobs (doctors, dentists, etc), and how many bullsh*t careers don't (degrees in art, historians, philosophers, economists, etc.).

Yet the figure is astonishing:
Most graduates will be unemployed.

Then most will have something in common with you.

What every happened to that saying where if you have a college degree you will make a million dollars more in your lifetime?

The new saying is that if you have debt from college you will make a million dollars more in your lifetime, because the first 10 years you will have to work two jobs to pay it off and by then, you will be used to working 80 hours per week and you will make more money.

Nowadays a college degree isn't special like it used to be, plus we are in a Depression. Timing has alot to do with success. It take alot more than talent.

The book 'Outliers' by Malcolm Gladwell brings home this point very nicely.
