It also depends on what you do with and for yourself. I never took a single college class. I did take a bunch of CLEP and DANTES tests while in the military, and I intended on being a doctor (ever since I was a very young child). I learned a great skill in the military (cybersecurity) and decided I didn't need to get a woke paper on my wall and put myself through 4-8 years of idiocy. Despite what people think, if you want to learn and can do the heavy lifting on your own you can do just fine without a degree. I make enough that I have never been able to claim any of the government handouts or tax breaks.

Seniors aren't marketable because for at least 20 years now they have basically been taught crib notes, with the lefties leaving all the important historical stuff out. They also teach to the lowest ability in the class so everyone is held back so Johnny or Karen doesn't feel bad. They can tell you all about Kwanzaa, LGBTX, and climate change but have no idea about Iran Contra, Grenada, Noriega, or even the Pentagon Papers. They can't name the 3 branches of the US govt, have no idea how many senators we have, and probably can't name or recognize ANY of the last 5 VPs. Most can't even read or write cursive - if they can even read at all.

The really sad part is it doesn't matter if kids fail anymore. Leftist teachers just keep promoting them up and out of the system with a diploma that isn't worth crap. The worst part is these teachers don't see the long-term problem with this. They want to just get these kids out of their hair (and not have to deal with parents) so they are someone else's problem. Guess what - they are everyone's problem once they graduate with no skills, no critical thinking, and no prospects or desire for a job. More and more of these kids will end up being paid for by the taxpayers... for life.

If people on the left could wake up enough to hear this one point we might be able to fix this.
