Dear college students,

Skilled Labor or STEM is way to go.

Days of Liberal Arts and Communications are OVER
“America is facing an unprecedented skilled labor shortage. According to the Department of Labor, the US economy had 7.6 million unfilled jobs” - Forbes Magazine
Understand if this administration cuts off foreign trade WE will have to learn how to make our own shit again.
There is power in Skilled Labor.

Unions!

Unions and skilled labor is was created the Black middle class.

My grandparents worked in auto factories and bought several homes
We turn our nose up at blue collar jobs yet walk around with 100k student loan debt cause we got a degree in Mass Comm.
If you want to write a press release go ahead. You don’t need a college degree for that.
I attending NYU.

Degree in Journalism.

Class of 2002

Just finished paying my student loans.

NYU doesn’t even let you single major in Journalism anymore.

You must double major or have a concentrated minor.

Why?

They know the market stinks
Has there ever been a SHORTAGE of people in Liberbal Arts/Comms?

Ever?!

Has anyone ever said in the last 30 years, “we need more mass comm folks?”

And get this: those folks are still looking for jobs.

Un-crowd the market 🙄
