And what about those who don't graduate with one of those degrees?

Teachers need at least a BA to get started, and teacher's salaries are not great. There are too many fields to list where salaries are not great and job candidates are not even considered without a bachelors degree. My daughter's boyfriend recently had a job recruiting people for a variety of jobs for lower-end jobs for companies you've heard of.

They all required a degree.
The average starting pay was about $17 an hour.

So I guess just don't go to college unless you can make 6 figures right out of the gate, or unless your parents can pay for your education...

Tuition is NOT going to go down. The system is f$#@d up. It's not like this in civilized counties.
