What is irrational about college students not getting jobs?
There are too many people going to college so they can have
an "easy life." Despite all of the nonsense you hear
(including this board) from the gloom and doomers, there are
hundreds of thousands of good blue collar jobs available
right now. There aren't enough people to fill them, which
is why immigration will continue unabated, we need them. To
hell with college, learn to be a welder, and you'll have
your high paying job.
