Higher Education and the Job Market

Causes

Not all majors guarantee you a job after college.

College graduates are accepting lower paying jobs for income.

Many students are competing for one job, especially if that job calls for a popular major.

Problems

College graduates are having an increasingly difficult time finding jobs that they went to school for.

The job market is not doing so well, and there are many students competing for one position which makes the standards for the job go up.

Some college graduates are finding themselves having to go higher up in their schooling, which means more money to pay for tuition.

Solutions

Create more jobs for those in the 'higher education' fields.

Make tuition costs cheaper and more affordable so students that don't find jobs right away do not feel like their degrees are worthless.
