Speaker 1: There's a new poll out there on higher education from
Speaker 1: the a P and the National Opinion Research and it's
Speaker 1: nork and the experts are said to be alarmed at
Speaker 1: the results. Now, according to the poll, a majority of
Speaker 1: young Americans between thirteen and twenty nine agree that college
Speaker 1: can put people on a path to success, but only
Speaker 1: about forty percent agree that a four year degree adequately
Speaker 1: prepares people for today's economy. Now here's the part that
Speaker 1: experts find alarming. Half of these young Americans think that
Speaker 1: a hash scruel education provides the skills needed to get
Speaker 1: a good job. Six out of ten think vocational schools
Speaker 1: are good, but the vast majority of young people set
Speaker 1: and think the best preparation is job experience rather than
Speaker 1: a degree. Experts are distressed by the skepticism about the
Speaker 1: value of a college degree. And I'll bet the AP
Speaker 1: hated the report that young people's esteem for practical experience
Speaker 1: is shared by the administration, which is pushed to expand
Speaker 1: apprenticeship programs. Now, what the alarmed experts miss are the
Speaker 1: reasons for these results. Many colleges, despite the ridiculous price tag,
Speaker 1: are nothing more than liberal indoctrination centers. Young people are
Speaker 1: figuring out that it makes no sense to go deep
Speaker 1: into debt for useless liberal degrees that don't prepare them
Speaker 1: for real life like degrees in anti corruption rule of law. Anyway,
Speaker 1: all this is not alarming to me. It's very hopeful.
