There's a new poll out there on higher education from
the a P and the National Opinion Research and it's
nork and the experts are said to be alarmed at
the results. Now, according to the poll, a majority of
young Americans between thirteen and twenty nine agree that college
can put people on a path to success, but only
(00:20):
about forty percent agree that a four year degree adequately
prepares people for today's economy. Now here's the part that
experts find alarming. Half of these young Americans think that
a hash scruel education provides the skills needed to get
a good job. Six out of ten think vocational schools
are good, but the vast majority of young people set
(00:42):
and think the best preparation is job experience rather than
a degree. Experts are distressed by the skepticism about the
value of a college degree. And I'll bet the AP
hated the report that young people's esteem for practical experience
is shared by the administration, which is pushed to expand
apprenticeship programs. Now, what the alarmed experts miss are the
(01:06):
reasons for these results. Many colleges, despite the ridiculous price tag,
are nothing more than liberal indoctrination centers. Young people are
figuring out that it makes no sense to go deep
into debt for useless liberal degrees that don't prepare them
for real life like degrees in anti corruption rule of law. Anyway,

all this is not alarming to me. It's very hopeful.
