Do you have a college education and a crap job?

When I was a kid, my parents told me if I didn't get an education I would get a crap job. I've met lots of people who have a college degree and have a crap job. Do you have both and describe it?

Yes I have a collage education and I will admit that some times I get tired of arguing this with people. So I will just come out with it.

The mantra of go to school, get an education and get a good secure job with benefits is badly out dated. The socio/economic landscape has changed so much that the working middle class is fast becoming the new poor. It's not just eduction but our educational system in terms of the type of business model that it trains us for.

I realize I am going beyond the scope of your question but there are some financial realities that people are just now starting to accept.One fact is that middle class America is living at 100% plus of it's disposiable income going towards paying debt.
Another fact is that when a young person today gets to retirement
they will need about 1-1.5 million dollars invested to even maintain the life style that they have today in their golden years.I believe the median income is about $40k a year. With living expenses and the devalueation of the dollar, how is working a job even going to get us a fraction of the way there. I draw a question as to the type of business model we are being trained for.

I have a very different perspective because I don't have a job. For the last 5 years I have been building a business within a financial services company that has an aspect of multi level marketing, this is not a bad thing because this business vehicle lets my efforts compound and duplicate as opposed to trading dollars for hours and chasing a paycheck. I help many, many people out of debt and these families are the ones that have the education and the "good" jobs, yet they are drowning

The problem is that our education system trains us for being employees. This also puts most Americans in a position of being abusivly taxed and being forced to borrow our lives from the lending industry and millions will retire broke because we are trained to work jobs and not trained to be business builders and leaders. I know what I write is not going to be the popular answer
because I'm not just parroting " Go to school and get a good job"
The reason is because most people have embrased spending tens of thousands of dollars on education and making 30 to 40k a year only to retire broke or near broke, that is the norm... Source(s): Financial services and former retail employee

Nope. I have a college education and a GREAT job!!!!!
It all depends upon your major.

If you have a crap major like Psych or History - then expect a crap job.

But if you have a REAL major like engineering - then expect a REAL job.
it depend on what kind of job you want
