Young people often today, don't have an idea of what type of career they want, and the colleges don't facilitate that...

You are damn right they don't. And they didn't in the 70s when I was interviewing them. Our classic "recent college grad" was a Soc major from USC. 22 years old with a blank stare. He had coasted though both HS and college, and was now working on his daddy's boat in Newport Beach while looking for a job.

What a waste.

What gets me is when they try to justify their costs by telling you how much more you’ll earn over your working life with a degree. As if for teaching you for 4 years they’re entitled to a fraction of your earnings for the rest of your life. And you thought indentured servitude was a historical artifact.
