Comments about ‘Are more college graduates needed for a better economy?’

There is a real misconception of education and economy, they have no relationship with the health of an economy. Education doesn't create jobs or insure happiness at a job. Education has been under the thumb of busniess too long and it has become a hinderance to the economy.

Business that had the schools run job training programs for certain business are dead ended now, those busiess are all defunct and gone. The schools have misapplied education to meet business rather than knowledge.

This is why business should not have any say in how and what education teaches. It narrows the playing field for students of education with knowledge that is no longer usable. Education should be independent and broad, make the business conform the education rather than make education conform to short term business demands.

I have said this a hundred times, the only way the economy will grow is high paying jobs and job benefits of insurance, retirements, and wages. We have seen what happens when you steal and lie to put their workers in poverty who can't buy goods and services any more. The economy is a product of business greed and slave labor.
