(Not About Owls

There's lots of talky-talk about college these days. Statistics are published, people are interviewed and conclusions are broadcast. It seems that not as many people are going to college and other people are worrying about this. Guess what: this is not the time, this is not the economy and this is not a job market that supports a four year degree goal. The job market is so limited that the day of just having a degree to guarantee employment is as outdated as reel to reel film projectors in the classroom. A student can do well with a two year degree, good networking and plenty of patience and determination when it comes to landing a decent job. I don't even recommend that my own grandgirls plan for college. I can't believe I said that but it's true. The most that can be said about going to college these days is that kids are allowed four more years to grow up in an academic setting that has little to do with the real world. Sorry. I'll get back to owl writing maybe even later today.)
