U.S. fell from first to 12th in share of young adults with post secondary degrees

<p>After a certain critical number, there is not a significant point to raising the number of college degrees. Improving their quality and such is a much better alternative to raising the sheer quantity. America as a nation is so devoted to the statistics of the matter, but we need to bear in mind that simply stuffing a degree down everybody’s throat is not in the best interests of Society. There will always be, and have always been, specialized jobs which need training that cannot be achieved effectively in a college or university. Thus, we need to make sure that people do not become too well educated to want to perform those vocations; before we can expand upwards, we need a solid base labor foundation.</p>
