Do you really believe that those without education or the best education struggle the most in life?

Question

Why is it then that many people with degrees in higher education have a hard time finding jobs?

Answer 1

I think that there are far more jobs that do not require education beyond high school, once you have a degree or the experience you can fall into the trap of being "over qualified" for these types of jobs. I few years ago I was unemployed, desperately looking for a job, any job, I was turned down at many entry level positions, even turned down at mcdonalds!!! for being "over qualified",,, the reason some gave me, which I believe is correct, is that people that are "over qualified" (with experience and/or education) will eventually look for another job and leave within months the less paying job,,,,

But in regards to who struggles the most, that would be in my opinion people with less education, they often have to settle for jobs that pay much more less, some even have to work two jobs in order to have some financial stability.. etc

the best thing always is to finish school and continue to study as far as you can, while we're young, single, and with no real financial responsabilities, we hear this story from our parents, teachers and we think its bs,, but it is so true,, once you turn a certain age, get a family and have financial responsabilities its so much harder to go back to school.....but its never too late nor impossible to do it,,,

Answer 2

The more educated you are the less you are worth at times...why pay me big bucks because I have all these degrees and education when you can pay someone with only a HS degree to do the same thing and pay them less...no matter what scope you are in you must start somewhere, often you must compete with people who have less education and prove yourself from there...I am in the medical field and I too had to do this...you don't just start off in the perfect position...

Answer 3

Their scope is limited by what they think they know. Never realizing that employes want the thought skills more than the actual degrees reason.
