Clive Crook (March 28, 2008) - The dumbing of America
[T]he proportion of 25-34 year olds with at least a college degree has soared. (More than half of South Koreans, Japanese and Canadians in this age group have a college degree or better.) As a result, in that cohort, the US is ... 11th. At first sight, anyway, it is hard to see how US leadership in per capita incomes can be sustained in the face of this trend.
A college degree is the new high school diploma. Its now just an entry point into the working world, no longer a guarantee of a good job.
Colorado now ranks #49 among states in higher education funding. At this rate, our children will be looking for low paying jobs in other countries.
