1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: There's a new poll out there on higher education from

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: the a P and the National Opinion Research and it's

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: nork and the experts are said to be alarmed at

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: the results. Now, according to the poll, a majority of

5
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: young Americans between thirteen and twenty nine agree that college

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: can put people on a path to success, but only

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: about forty percent agree that a four year degree adequately

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: prepares people for today's economy. Now here's the part that

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: experts find alarming. Half of these young Americans think that

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: a hash scruel education provides the skills needed to get

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: a good job. Six out of ten think vocational schools

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: are good, but the vast majority of young people set

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: and think the best preparation is job experience rather than

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: a degree. Experts are distressed by the skepticism about the

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: value of a college degree. And I'll bet the AP

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: hated the report that young people's esteem for practical experience

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: is shared by the administration, which is pushed to expand

18
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: apprenticeship programs. Now, what the alarmed experts miss are the

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: reasons for these results. Many colleges, despite the ridiculous price tag,

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: are nothing more than liberal indoctrination centers. Young people are

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 1: figuring out that it makes no sense to go deep

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: into debt for useless liberal degrees that don't prepare them

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: for real life like degrees in anti corruption rule of law. Anyway,

24
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: all this is not alarming to me. It's very hopeful.
