Of course not all college/university grads go on to make good money. The big problem there is if everyone is going to college/university and everyone has expectations for a certain salary, well there are only so many of those kinds of jobs, even less right now, and obviously a good chunk of people will have no choice to settle for less at least in the temporary.
I live in today. Not 5-10 years ago or even one.

Companies have thrown degrees out the window. They used to hire a balance of experienced workers with college grads. And the college grads would be trained for a 5-10 year plan.

When you dont know if you are going to be in business for 5-10 years. NO ONE knows for sure these days. You are less likely to risk money on a college grad and take the guy with more experience who has to degree because his experience can bring you money in the NOW.

it has 100% changed.
