A Boomer's Apology To Today's College Grads

I am angry at parents who push their children to go to college. I blame our Boomer Generation for this.  And in doing so we set false expectations that all college grads will become captains of industry making shit loads of money right out of school. The result has been squandered talents that many could have turned into successful careers. Not everyone should go to college!  This has come home to roost during this present recession.  College grands cannot find work.  And they are not open to lower their expectations of starting positions and salaries. Had they only spent their college years perusing their passions, be it carpentry, mechanics, or any job considered "blue collar", apprenticing with experts in these fields, they would be making good livings today.
