Student
Loan Debt has reached $1.5 trillion
On
dreams to buy a home a crushing collar
But
the crushing student debt gets even worse
As
too many students are hit with the can’t get a job curse
Too
many degrees are not in STEM and do not for the workplace the students prepare
Black,
Lesbian, Gay, Gender or Bisexual Studies will find the job cupboard only bare
Students
have been sold an empty bill of goods
By
an educational system that has not the job market understood
We
need more programmers than majors in art
History
majors rarely do well in the job mart
A
four year degree without any job granting skills
Means
the need for a professional degree like nursing and more crushing student debt
bills
Students
should heed Andy Rooney who said it best
To
potential four year college students he would suggest
"More
college graduates ought to first become plumbers or electricians, then go home
at night and read Shakespeare."
They
would have a great paying job and would not have a crushing debt load from a 4
year college to fear
