I have written a number of articles for a school paper and I was just curious to know every-ones take on how the economy will affect the number of jobs college graduates are able to get.

With rising tuition costs and less and less jobs for college graduates (and everyone else), are we reaching a sort of "Hubbert's Peak" in college education? Entry level jobs don't pay enough to support yourself on and everyone lies about how much you will make.

I saw numerous articles a couple of years ago saying that the average starting salary for someone with my degree was about $36,000 per year. I can't even make close to $30,000 per year two years after graduation. Right now the only degrees that are worth getting are accounting (business is not good enough) and nursing.

I think we are getting closer and closer to the point where it will not pay off to go to college. This doesn't mean that people will stop going to college right away and that schools will start seeing sharp declines, but the peak will have been reached.

Our country is going to have millions of people up to their necks in student loans with no jobs to earn money and pay them off with.

Top Answer:

You are right, now the only growing job is health care, average $50K( including those make $200K doctor and $18K medical assistant) , one day medicare system will collapse too, because 20% without any insurance, 50% get from employer, 30% get from government, nobody can afford $1400 premium for 4 person family. More and more employers can't afford it too and outsource job oversea, and the country is heading to 3rd world country.

During last 10 years, most people haven't seen income increased,many IT programmer complain they make less than 10 years ago, some college kids can't get a job after 1 year graduation. only a few executives, doctors, lawyers, actors become more and more rich.
