People coming out of college are having a very hard time finding work immediately. I have one more year to go, but I know a lot of people who just finished with their bachelor's degree and the market is not particularly kind unless you are in education or certain medical fields.College is not a hindrance but the debt accumulated is ridiculous considering one should go to college to get an education that is supposed to help ensure a well paying job. In the meantime, the average graduate in 2006 was 20,000 in debt. That's stupid.
A college degree is almost meaningless now. It's what a high school diploma was ten years ago. Now you need either a masters or a doctorate or a juris doctor to get a good job unless you're relying on nepotism.
