Nor does anybody guarantee that they will be employable in their field

We don't have white collar jobs for every college grad.

You find college grads flipping burgers, clerking at Target, sweeping
floors, etc.

Your other comment:

What we consider poor is defined as rich in many countries. Owning a
car,
having tv's, cell phones, air conditioning, a house and perhaps a boat.

As long as our working people are better off than those in Bengladesh,
things are OK?
The way to increase the number of rich people is not to redefine rich
as "owning a cell phone and a TV". :-)

We have too many college grads who seem to think that "Liberal Arts" is the
guarantee of good employment.

Go here and look at employment by type of degree. Compare the
Professional/Technical Field percents to the Social Sciences and Humanities
percents.

Could it possibly be that *individuals* reach their own decisions about their
lives? Could 'personal responsibility' and wages have anything to do with each
other?
