The US Department of Labour statistics show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers. And this oversupply is ___50_____ . Already there have been more than enough teachers; engineers, physicists, aerospace experts and other specialists. Yet, colleges and graduate schools continue every year to ____51____ highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren’t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the ___52_____ for which they were trained, and they must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree and these temporary jobs are most probably becoming ___53______ ones in the severe labor markets.
____54_____ , there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts : carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle. As a result , their ____55____ are often higher than those of college graduates. The old concept that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now is ___56_____ the skilled workmen.
The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that ___57_____ is a passport to prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life ____58_____ with a college degree. Parents begin brainwashing their children with this myth before they are out of grade school . High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for ___59______ rather than for life. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn’t matter: everybody should go to college , so of course they must go . Under this pressure, the kids have to go to college, but, unfortunately, most kids ___60______ in the starting line. In spite of this, every year college enrollments go up and up, and more and more graduates are ___61______ for the kinds of jobs available to them.
One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college where they do not __62___ . Half of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year because of their __63____ academic performance. Some ___64_____ for two or three and then join the other students who drop out. It’s high time we stopped to rethink our education system.
