No way
Oh, great-- for the first time in US history, having a bachelor's degree gives you no major economic advantages over the shitty-ass economy. Thanks for the update, Wall Street Journal!I worked my ass off for two years at UWC and four years at Vassar, and now that means nothing? My parents spent countless dollars on my education, I spent years working a crappy job I hated so I could pay for school, and now I'm still in the same boat as Britney, the girl who made fun of me in fifth grade, who barely graduated from high school and will be spending the rest of her life standing at the Bed Bath and Beyond checkout line?
This is so not cool.

No, no, no, no, no. No.
LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU.
No wait, upon closer inspection, that's not exactly what the article is saying.
"To be sure, the average American with a college diploma still earns about 75% more than a worker with a high-school diploma and is less likely to be unemployed. ...In short, a college degree is often necessary, but not sufficient, to get a paycheck that beats inflation."
In other words, Britney is even more screwed than you and I.
