4.9/5 (24826 ratings)

Description:For decades, we have promoted the idea that a university degree is a passport to future career success. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison argue that the over-promotion of higher education and university degrees is actually undermining the lives of young people, saddling them with enormous debts, and costing governments huge amounts of money.As the young flock to universities in ever-increasing numbers, fewer of them than ever find the elusive “good jobs” that they are pursuing. In fact, many of those jobs no longer exist. We are in the midst of a youth employment crisis that is global in proportion, and we are facing serious misunderstandings about the unfolding career prospects for young adults entering a world of rapid technological change. While the new economy still needs a small number of highly specialized high-tech workers, very few in North America are graduating with the required skills. Students with BAs, BScs, and BComs can look forward to a future of unemployment or else underemployment in low-paying jobs. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison explore the impacts of universities turning out graduates with the wrong skills, technological change eroding middle-class work, and disappearing opportunities for the “average” person.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
