OUR TIME DAILY TRANSLATION
We've heard you say it many times: "Politics is like a foreign language." Well, we agree.
Each week, we summarize, simplify, and interpret different major news stories and how they affect our generation. We'll give you our take, and you can decide for yourself.
THE PLIGHT OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
THE FACTS
Only 10% of high school graduates without a college degree claimed to be “extremely well prepared” by their high school education for job success.
Many young Americans find that family responsibility and money constraints inhibit them from enrolling in college.
Only 14% of Americans without a college degree believed that their generation would do better than their parents’ generation.
WHY WE SHOULD CARE
Americans without a college degree find themselves unprepared for job success and pessimistic about their futures.
OUR TIME OPINION
Working to minimize the cost of education, rather than writing off college entirely, will benefit both high school and college grads.
