Half of College Grads Are Working Jobs That Don’t Use Their Degrees
https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/careersandeducation/half-of-college-grads-are-working-jobs-that-don-t-use-their-degrees/ar-BB1iGzLj
Roughly half of college graduates end up in jobs where their degrees aren’t needed, and that underemployment has lasting implications for workers’ earnings and career paths.
That is the key finding of a new study tracking the career paths of more than 10 million people who entered the job market over the past decade. It suggests that the number of graduates in jobs that don’t make use of their skills or credentials—52%—is greater than previously thought, and underscores the lasting importance of that first job after graduation.
Of the graduates in non-college-level jobs a year after leaving college, the vast majority remained underemployed a decade later, according to researchers at labor analytics firm Burning Glass Institute and nonprofit Strada Education Foundation, which analyzed the résumés of workers who graduated between 2012 and 2021.
(So its not those authors its the colleges......but now you want free college for all the worthless courses instead of getting back to when someone could go to college, pay for it and get a job in their field.......)
2 billion dollars could be better spent there.....
Plain and simple, I didn't say it was racist did I?
FBI stats....Yep,,,,,17% of population makes up nearly 1/2 the murders and mostly in the inner cities
Its the part of disparity dems don't want to address........

Actual gun death data is something dems want to ignore too...
A 2 billion dollar stadium for chicago.....Now, think about the inner city needs there...
Dems want to keep racism alive for votes.....
Worthless classes people can't make a living at with the degree...This isn't even the the existential ones....

Nope and look at the cost of colleges....Need I post the lost of worthless classes they offer, that create only more teachers, admin and infrastructure instead of moving us ahead....
Then comes the loans that can't be repaid, you want everyone to bail out the 37% that go there with no fix or way to pay.....
Dems make up the vast majority of education and faculties, so it lands at your feet....
Math is racist........So lets lower the standards? No....lets raise the standards of our schools and hire more teachers, not just for the the minorities but for all......
Good things can go too far and end up hurting instead of helping......They are many things this country needs to focus on, raising our standards is one of them.....

The United States isn't investing as much in human capital as other developed countries and its comparative advantage is falling behind as a result. U.S. students' math skills have remained stagnant for decades. The country is falling behind many others which have greatly improved, such as Japan, Poland, and Ireland. U.S. test scores are below the global average.
Yep
As for your crime statics, see if you remember this one
How many Blacks in the NHL or in golf and tennis? You can go protest at those venues if you please...But their time will come if that's the path they choose, the opportunity is there...
Your example is 25yrs old and would well fit with the above examples.....There are some hockey fans here, maybe they can explain it to you unless they are just plain racist organizations
Grow up, its not the sixties anymore......Progressaphobia
Mr. Maher defines it as “a brain disorder that strikes liberals and makes them incapable of recognizing progress. It’s like situational blindness, only what you can’t see is that your dorm in 2021 is better than the South before the Civil War.”
Like every black family has the talk about the police.....Every white family with school age kids now has the conversation...No you are not a racist because you are white, no the US was not a racist country, we are the country that wants freedom for all and equal rights for all.....And we have fought and died for that ideal...
Humanity as a whole is ever evolving, we cannot hold the people of the past to the standards of today....
"'More' perfect union"......more, being the key word from the preamble of the constitution.....We've done damn good at it.........
Except for the MSNBC crowd, people are over racism and get along just fine.....But when your not being productive, you have to keep something alive...
Wake up, its 2024
All you democrats out there......
Manufactured Outrage is The Democratic Anthem........Reality was lost on you and repubs long ago...
No it's just the forcing it on people, even children now.....
As absurd as Drag Queen story time is, your comparison was just as...Clarabelle the clown is not a drag queen with elementary students....But the fact that you and progressives 'believe' its the same, goes to show why dems are as a bad and can be even worse than their Republican counterparts....
Hamas is a dictatorship......'The Battle of Gaza'
The Battle of Gaza was a military conflict between Fatah and Hamas that took place in the Gaza Strip from 10 to 15 June 2007. It was a prominent event in the Fatah–Hamas conflict, centered on the struggle for power after Fatah lost the 2006 Palestinian legislative election. The battle resulted in the dissolution of the unity government[3] and the de facto division of the Palestinian territories into two entities: the West Bank governed by the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), and the Gaza Strip governed by Hamas. Hamas fighters took control of the Gaza Strip, while Fatah officials were either taken as prisoners, executed, or expelled.[3][4] The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights reported that at least 161 people were killed and more than 700 were wounded during the fighting.[1]

Blind allegiance, thats the 2 party system now....Partisans have lost their ability to think for themselves.....All of them looking stupid and hurting the country equally, each in their own way...
Neither party is worthy of leading the US...
This election is proof positive the 2 party system has failed
Well Conway was a piece of work wasn't/isn't she..
Art Historian, clean your foot off
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174112724
As I recall, your are art history scholar.....Also I might add very, very good at exposing penny stock scams...I doubt you have researched the subject matter in question beyond confirmation bias,,,Same with dems and their part in our political strife........
Obvious matter of opinion.....Gas lighting is a fallacy used when you can not argue a point..Janice is one smart cookie, thats for sure,,,,,,But there are others out there even smarter and with more expertise in matters that she is not...
Not talking about amateur hours, nor trumps amateur hour Jan 6 coup attempt....But I will point out that was not an armed insurrection,,,We haven't seen one of those yet with thousands or even more armed to the teeth....
What I'm pointing out is civilizations rise and fall, they all follow the same pattern and last about the same amount of time...(same with rebellions too, however) we now click off one major one ant thats Income Inequity, having a strong man hit the scene, environmental changes both man made and natural, division among the ranks that grow restless...
As a former teacher you know history, and you know how to research and if you do on this subject, you may just see that we fall into that pattern very well.......Society can not take a rebellion or civil war in the modern era with out collapse.....And as I've said to Janice, denial is also a part of it...
Food for thought if your the critical thinker you claim to be......
And maybe its a big mistake for you to dismiss scholars, dems are supposed to be the intellectuals right, are you not highly educated..And what about those folks at NASA and MIT, mere slouches?
Perhaps I should have said Society is Balanced on a Pinhead, as we found out at the beginning of the pandemic
And the typical progressive gas lighting to say I'm demonizing migrants show you have not honest debate left....
Yep repubs 'too'
You sound like a little child dancing around an issue, either be a man about it and quit pussy footing around (like I said below) and do what you want to do, or not....
As usual I stick with what I said, not what you want me to say, and to my cancelled culture statement and any and all I spoken about dems and progressives too.....Now show I'm either right or wrong about you and them.....

LMFAO
They certainly disagreed with the bond...As I said to hawk, they were not ruling on the case, thats for appeal....They lowered the bond, as you say, so he could pay it, presumably to avoid asset loss before that appeal....
So, They did disagreed with the Judge and DA on the bond set and then lowered it...Now trump can pay it and assets won't be siezed
Now it will be on to the appeal
And I also noted you left out of the fact check that higher bonds like trumps have historically been for multinationals and big corps..
So I disagree with your opinion, and disagreeing or not, seems they went against the judge and DA in favor of......As you know, the DA ask the panel not to lower it,,,,,,,Did they or did they not lower it against her wishes?
Note how quick food disappeared from the shelves at the beginning of the pandemic....Thats a pinhead.....Note things people depend on like medicines are no longer made here....We are no longer as self sufficient as we once were since we sold off industry....
What people do you suppose drive trucks and farm,,,,, They are some of the very people that may rise up...
And FWIW I read fate of empires,,,,loved the list the amateur narrator posted from him, thought is a very good fit, and its hard to dismiss Chris Hedges too...He has seen it happen in real life, but quite possibly knocks dems and corps a little to much for you to take as credible Pulitzer Prize be damned.... You also dismiss MIT and NASA and for those willing, there is slot of good subject matter out there....
So unless you grow your own food and are part of the working class, pin head is a very good way to put it...
You know as well as I and nearly everyone now, that trouble is brewing,,,As I said, Jan 6 may well be just the barricade moment from the play...
A forum to present, discuss, debate and lampoon matters of interest great and small, including matters political.
A place to share, and preserve, all manner of information, speculation, analysis, commentary, opinion and humor.
Include source links when available.
All points of view are welcome here; a progressive, "reality-based" point of view is well represented here.
Only specific investing/trading discussions are, as such, off-topic here, banished to other good homes on iHub.
More general discussions of business and economic matters, including the markets, are in bounds and fair game.
Beyond specific investing/trading discussions, there are no forbidden topics here.
No lampooning of dems allowed......Cancel culture is a real thing held against the dems....But not a topic
Seems there is something you want to do,,,Carry on without challenges? Carry on with one-sided its good for me but not thee....?
Quit pussy footing around and get on with it,,,,I think progressives especially and dems overall 'need lampooning and at least carry half the fault for where we are today in the US....
Yeah Glubb wrote the Fate of Empires.....And considering all the other sources I noted, NASA and MIT and a Pulitzer Prize winner....I think its very hard to debunk....
Point is empires fall, but those societies didn't live on the pinhead we do with maybe the exception Rome.....At least those I quoted showed some sense of critical thinking....
Lastly, they all noted one other thing, people stay in denial until its too late....
I posted that fact check earlier.....Seems the panel of 5 judges disagree with Engoron.....They had the same numbers to work with.......
You are speaking of multinationals and bigger corps
You missed this part of the fact check,, As I noted in my post, its a good read on the subject
Larger companies have paid for appeals bonds of $1 billion or more, or twice the value of the one former President Donald Trump faces.
An appeals bond that is the value of the one Trump faces is more common for larger companies than for a closely held, privately owned company such as the Trump Organization, experts said.
And
This judgment’s size is not unprecedented, according to examples provided by James’ office and an expert we contacted. A judgment that big is more common in cases involving large or multinational corporations than with a privately owned, closely held company such as the Trump Organization.
My bad,,,,,Ronna.....Know about the election denying and her phone call......All the better to contrast her with since its an under theme with repubs
Instead, for now, people focus on the out cry
All forums and news outlets do the public or themselves no favor by being one sided.......At least NBC is making efforts to let both sides be heard....And in this case it should favor the dems......
So if your in the right, no differing opinion or fact should worry anyone,,,,Attempts to squelch free speech only make those doing it look bad.......
NBC hires Rhonda McDaniel, I hope they stick to their guns and keeps her in spite of the out cry....
Seems she would make a good contrast for dems against repubs.......
Cancel Culture works against the dems...
Cohen pled guilty to millions in tax fraud to, it was by no means just a hush money case
Michael Cohen’s plea deal, explained
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/michael-cohens-plea-deal-explained
Tax fraud years: Cohen is charged with hiding more than $4 million in income from the IRS between 2012 and 2016. Most of this came from interest on personal loans he made to others. This tells us that Cohen was involved in tax fraud during some pivotal years he was also with the Trump Organization.
Financial problems timing: Cohen concealed a $14 million debt from a bank when he applied for a loan to buy an $8.5 million summer home in 2015, according to prosecutors. Why this may matter: Around this time, Cohen was working on a deal with Russians to build Trump Properties in Moscow. But he was personally struggling with money.
.........
Cohen faces a likely sentence somewhere in the range of 46 to 63 months — and a fine of between $20,000 and $1 million on top of back taxes estimated at $1.4 million. He has not agreed to cooperate with prosecutors at this point. Any such agreement could affect his sentencing.
Sorry about the edit
