<p>It’s not the end of the Ivy League.</p>
<p>I think it’s the end if the Average League.</p>
<p>A college degree is rapidly losing its value. A college degree gets you a job in Starbucks and has for the last 5 years. I see so many college kids struggling. They can barely find teacher jobs anymore which used to hire so reliably.</p>
<p>Of course, there is a shortage of really skilled engineers, mathematicians, etc. in the hard sciences and math programs but so many majors are useless. Too many majors are failing students in their quests to find work in particular fields. The economy is morphing into something else and colleges are doing the same old stuff. It’s got to change and catch up. </p>
<p>Average students that get their advice from parents/counselors using 20 year old knowledge and studying in colleges that haven’t changed focus in 20 years and still offering same programs from 20 years ago are only preparing kids for work that existed 20 years ago but not for today.</p>
