Why Typical Colleges Are Out of Date!

Hello I'm hoping I'm not the only one out there that has been noticing things have been going wrong for a while! I'm an 18 year old from Ohio and just graduated High School. Like most people around the same age I have been thinking about what I want to pursue in college or dealing with the big "What should I do with my life" question. But some or most of my friends are all going to college and going to the typical colleges living on a campus. There is no problem with that as I like the idea of living around people going through college with you to help you out and just to meet people. The problem is that a lot of people are jumping into college recently that have no clue what they want to do and just taking "popular" classes that their friends are taking. Why, I will never understand! Most are expecting to spend $10,000-$20,000 a year some way more than that. On average the class of 2016 graduates have a debt of $37,172 up 6% from just last year! On top of that in 2010, only 62 percent of college graduates had a job that actually required a college degree. And only 27% of college grads got a job that was related to their major. Why is this generation using college as a sort of "get away" from home and going tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt just to go party and get a less of an education than they would of just going to a more local community branch FOR LESS MONEY! Has anyone else across the U.S. noticed new college kids doing the same?
