[QUOTE="Commercial Inside Release, post: 5683442, member: 93336"] 38% of millennials have degrees... The highest percentage per generation, ever. College was more affordable back then, and the US mantra at the time was blue collar & manual labor was for the Mexicans, Chinese, and Indians. Some of it is also peer pressure... If half your peers have degrees & office jobs, you probably would try office work, too. Of course, the Bush administration was also threatening to reinstate the draft after 9\11... College has always been a refuge for draft dodgers. (Just an amusing theory.) Oh yeah, and I would also add that Gen Z saw that degrees lose their value, when everyone has one... So, less of them attended college. Now there are more avenues for employment like gigwork, that didn't exist back then. [/QUOTE]
