A Bachelor's degree no longer offers an opportunity for a profession, career, and a middle class life. Most jobs are high school level. Masters degree or a doctorate do not offer much better. America is a land of limited opportunity and corporate greed. The individual worker and labor in general is devalued and looked upon as a unit of expense. Any worker is easily replaced or disposable. The leadership has no plans for creating vibrance in the economy. There are no plans or policy developments by the elite class to uplift the middle class. For the middle class to prosper, education has to be rewarded, and there must exist economic opportunity and hope for a better future. Elites have sold the country up the river, and, a greater tragedy is that the citizen have not brought forth any resistance to the abuse.
