The PhD with no job is legendary truth.

I have long contended that the pressure to go to college is impoverishing younger Americans, particularly those who are minority. Until we make blue collar work not just acceptable but desirable we will continue to have huge percentages of unemployed young men and women. College is not for everyone. A man or woman with skills can out earn any college grad. Of course both is better. I started off as a welder. But I have a good education. Both and. Skills. Don't pressure your kids into a path that leads no where.
