[Dr. Housing Bubble Blog] Wave Goodbye to the Bankrupt Joneses: Deconstructing the American ...: Bill after World War II many young Americans had the chance to go to college, once a privilege of the wealthy and elite, and we suddenly had a large educated working class.  From 1940 to 1965, the number of Americans with four-year degrees doubled.  Yet in our instant gratification culture, we had high school graduates making $100,000+ a year selling toxic loans to Americans hungry to keep up with the Joneses.  Why go to college when you can make the almighty dollar with only a high school diploma?  As we now know, many of these people are now out of work in an environment that is quickly shifting its values.  The jobs that are now currently available require specific job training.  A college education in many cases is needed for jobs in engineering or fields in the sciences.  And in states like California where the true unemployment rate is at 16 to 19 percent competition is now fierce.  So part of the dream with education will be revisited.  Yet here in California, the public education system with the University of California, California State University, and Community Colleges many of these institutions are scaling back classes and raising fees since the budget is impacting their bottom lines.  As we are seeing, an education is a ticket out but that ticket has just become more expensive and harder to obtain in the face of our economic calamity.
