The College Bubble

When most students go to college they think they are making a smart bet. But given that many students end up with loan payments the size of mortgages and can't get a job after they graduate, it seems that something is seriously wrong. And there is. It's called The Higher Education Bubble.

The fact is that too many students get worthless degrees. Education has become a government subsidized commodity so everyone gets a degree. But the government doesn't inform students that some degrees aren't worth the time, effort or money. Yes, some degrees are. But most are not.

Over 85% of those graduating from college end up going back to live with their parents. That's a terrible sign of looming economic disaster.
