Sign in to track this film in your collection or want list.
Presents the grim reality facing college graduates who find the promised higher standard of living based upon advanced education not only to be untrue, but actually a handicap in securing a job and questions education's role in career development. Depicts colleges as runaway education factories producing graduates trained in areas already over-supplied. Stresses the growing need for vocational programs and technical schools as alternate courses of study as there is a high demand for technically-trained individuals. Cites recent college graduates who are now working as cab drivers, janitors, painters, and newspaper deliverymen, including a recent Ph.D. unable to find a position after sending out hundreds of applications.
