with a large English speaking population and lower wages. It's why so many 4 year college grads are complaining that the hard work and debt load are failing to pay off. Now it's off to grad school and even that is no guarantee of success.

I've taken to telling smart kids to get a 2 year degree that will pay the bills, live at home until they land a job that does that. They can think about a 4 year degree down the line when this country stops being so stupid and short sighted and invests in people instead of billionaires.
