William Klein�a story may sound familiar to his fellow graduates. After earning his bachelor�s in history from the College at Brockport, he found himself living in his parents� Buffalo home, working the same $7.25-an-hour waiter job he had in high school.
LOL.
A history degree?
What if he had earned a degree in Engineering or an Accounting Degree or Computer Science or got a full Cisco Certification?
And he is going back for a Masters in History?
He is an idiot!!!
He could then make a good living and read history on the side.
Not only are we developing �the overeducated American,� he says,
He is not educated at all. He is a functional illiterate in a highly technical society where 95% of the jobs he cannot do. He cannot run a lathe, weld, do construction, diagnose or treat disease, work in a lab, or work with computers. He is functionally illiterate.
This is a frightening trend. The U.S. educational system is already too slow and expensive.
Its far worse than that. Check out this graph for higher education. Its a huge bubble waiting to burst.
