17,000,000 Americans Have College Degrees For No Reason

~

That includes 5,057 janitors with Ph.Ds.

Here is a Paradox, if you like such things:

America is a Nation of Semi-Literate Buffoons, but America is also a Nation of Over-Educated (but still dumb) service workers.

What? “In all, about 17 million people in this country have completed college only to end up working jobs that require a skill level below that of a bachelors degree, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.”

That includes 5,057 janitors with Ph.Ds.

What is so wrong with being a “maintenance engineer,” we ask? At least it’s a job, right?

There’s nothing wrong with it at all, it’s just that you don’t really need eight years of college and a hundred grand in student loan debt to mop up shit and blood in the emergency room, at night.
