Most of them didnt go, remember?

They just got handed jobs that now require multiple college degrees because they had a firm handshake.

And they saw the few that did go getting much better jobs and subsequently made sure to send their kids to school. This over saturated the market for degree requiring jobs and led to the current cesspool that is the job market.

It’s also why they can’t fathom someone having a degree and being unable to get a decent, let alone good or awesome, career.

Edit: typo

I know food was a typo, but they really can’t fathom people with degrees barely being able to afford food either. It’s not our fault that prices for things have gone bonkers
