Too many PhD's? No, but we're definitely giving out too many Bachelor's.

Actually I think that we give out far too many degrees, period.They're being devalued. Everyone seems to think that they're owed higher education; especially those who have no aptitude.

I agree. It seems like some of the people who get degrees now would struggle to get a high school diploma.

There are not too many PHD's; there are too many people.
We need more birth control for Chinese and Mexicans.

Well, what do you expect when it's been beaten into most of us for generations that you can't have a decent paying job without a degree?

Yup, sure has. I turned down a machinist apprenticeship, straight out of college, because I was by damn going to use my diploma. Unfortunately we still need carpenters, plumbers, electricians, garbage men, general labourers, ...... There's a good living to be made in such areas; likely better than at some helpdesk, that's going to be outsourced anyway.

It was digging ditches for us. Guess McD's didn't instill the fear they wanted.
