First post and a weird thought.

So, this is my first post in this blog and I decided to start off simple.  College costs a lot of money, ergo, it isn’t for everyone.  But, the state insists on making it easier for people to go.  As of right now, more than 50% of high school graduates will head off to college.  This poses 3 questions:

1) How is the state getting money for this and how well is it being used?

2) What will happen the job market in a few years?

3)  What about good ol’ manual labor?

I have found answer to these questions, or so I believe.  The answer to Numero Uno is the state is using our tax money to send kids to college.  They have actually managed to back step, and take money away from regular k-12 public schools and give it to colleges for the people that are to attend it.  I am one, so I think it’s great, but I also came from a high school where my lunches everyday cost about as much as a gallon of gas.  That, and are text books were printed on papyrus and was written in hieroglyphics.  Jesus probably read the same “Modern History of Our World” when he was learning.  I thought I saw his name in there.

This next paragraph will answer 2 and 3.  The job market for college graduates is a high paying job and almost immediate placement in a job.  This is seriously gonna stop in the next few years, except with lawyers…you could always use more, since everyone sues somebody daily.  This concept was brought to up by my GED-wielding friend Sean.  Manual labor is losing its touch with America, and since the job security is so shaky in such a job, nobody wants that.  Cheaper labor is usually found in areas just south of the American border or across the ocean.  Soon, all the high paying, non-laborous jobs will be paying top dollar for their workers and corporate America will be eating from our hands.  It’s a good thing I know how to run a folder.

So, kids, all-in-all, college isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.
