Reality is 1. Education for education sake is good and is helpful in getting a job and doing it well. However there is a surplus of well-educated people for jobs that require higher levels of education and training. 2. A majority of jobs in the United States workforce require only short-term or moderate length on the job training or experience. 3. About 21% of jobs might require a bachelor’s degree or more. The U.S. Census in 2003 stated that about 31% of workers in the workforce 25 years of age and older had a Bachelor’s degree or more. 6. About 5% of jobs in the United States in 2006-2016 might require higher math and science preparation.
