this bears out with my experience: there aren't enought science/
techinnical jobs for the numbers of grads that are produced.

You are completely correct but mostly because most of those jobs are moving
to India or China.

all the bachelor degree engineers i know work in IT or as programmers.
many also go on to get MBAs or masters degrees in fields like finance.

Now compare the number of people with degrees and specialized training
to the whole of the population. You are left with a ****load who have
little to no usefull skills and the number of non/semi-skilled jobs
outside the service sector has crashed since the early 70s. We're
definitely doing an education divide as well as a wealth divide.

That's ridiculous. If a person is not literate enough to read their
textbooks or express an idea on paper, they have should not be in
college in the first place. They failed the system somewhere in public
school.

Having said that, I bet Rahsaan Bahati never had to attend remedial
english classes.

Agree on both counts Kyle. The system is broken from top to bottom.
