The question’s pretty straightforward for this round of Blog Off. Are college graduates today really ready for the working world?
According to an article in the Chicago Tribune last week, the average cost of a year at a private college now stands at $50,000 and it’s $15,000 at a public college. College graduates today enter the real world with $23,200 in debt on average. That’s a pretty staggering figure and we’re curious to hear what you think comes with all that debt?
As with all of these Blog Off topics, how you interpret this question is up to you –there are no right answers or right ways to participate. Have your post be a reminiscence of your own college days. Use you post to encourage the young people in your life or young people in general. Or use it as a way to vent your frustrations with these damn kids today. It’s entirely up to you.
Be sure to let everybody know you’re participating and have fun!
