he “underemployment rate” for young college graduates is 44 percent. What does that mean? Almost half of the recent graduates in the United States are employed in positions that do not require a college degree.
While this article does show a different point of viw on going to college, I must disagree with the fact that 44% of graduates are unemployed. While this is true, it is important to consider other facts, one such being the fact that people may have attempted to get jobs that they had not majored in. This would seriously affect the number of people that went to college because you have a less likely chance of getting into college. Another important factor would have to be the fact that many people would not be ready for jobs as soon as they left college. Some people may not go for jobs right away or might more likely not be mentally ready for them. This would seriously affect the number of people with jobs as well. These are just a few factors to think about.
