    11% is certainly not nothing, but the vast majority are not working these jobs.

    I’m not really sure how you can look at 11% and say “yes, they are working these jobs en masse”. A bit disingenuous.

    Edit: Post OP and others continue to downvote - yet can’t counter. I’m sorry college didn’t have the outcome you expected, it’s definitely no longer the golden ticket it once was. But to claim it isn’t a benefit at all, or indicate that most college grads are unable to use their degrees is at best misleading and at worst disinformation. There are a lot of variables, including the major you choose, and how much you spend to complete the degree.

      Personally, I was turned off by you saying that the other commenter was being “A bit disingenuous.” just because you disagreed with them, despite the fact that I otherwise agree with your point.

        I stand by that. It is a bit disingenuous (purposefully or ignorantly) to call 11% “en masse”.

            I don’t attribute it to malice. A misleading claim is just that, misleading, whatever their intentions.

            It’s alright if we disagree.

              The problem is that the word “disingenuous” does not mean “misleading”, it means “insincere”. So when you say that someone is being “a bit disingenuous”, you are necessarily commenting on their character, not just their claim.
