[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4113683, member: 76548"] I agree that it's great that asians(Indians are Asian too) value education, and I agree that everyone else should. But that doesn't solve the problem I pointed out. In fact, it clouds it even more. If everyone went to a university or technical school, and had an advanced education, we would not have enough jobs in their fields, and well paying jobs in general, that someone with an advanced degree would consider worthy. It's already happened to a certain degree - just ask the twenty-something working the clerks job at any number of retail outlets, or the dude swinging a carpenter's hammer on your deck or delivering your package in a big brown truck...many of them went to college and do not or cant find work in their field. Everyone can't be educated and work white collar jobs, we will still need these other jobs filled, and we will never have enough white collar jobs if everyone just went to school and all of the sudden demanded one. College was meant for the best and the brightest, and along the way got watered down. Let's not water it down anymore - if anything, these kids need to goto vo-tech early, and technical college after high school. There's a whole :censored: load of jobs in the trades and technology sitting there empty as the next 5000 early elementary teaching or 10000 psychology majors sign up for school to NEVER get a job after graduation. Half of those early elementary majors will be back in school to be vet techs or LPNs before their 5th year out of college is up, and they've never even had an [I]interview[/I] for a job in their field, nevermind an actual job or step towards a career in their field.
