I am going to file "We need to get more people more college degrees and advanced ones" under the category of B.S. I have a BS degree in Management, and a Masters in Information Systems. I hadn't worked a regular job in the field since 2007. Most recently, I had a janitorial position I was doing briefly, until issues with my back resulted in me not being able to do it. I was with IBM until 2004. At that point I was let go with a bunch of other people, in software development. Between 2004 and 2007 I had two helpdesk jobs, the first one paying $12.50/hr.
The reality of the job market today is that there are too many people with college degrees who aren't doing work in what they are trained for. There is a glut of people with such degrees. And the payoff of debt vs payout for degree isn't worth it. What is needed is education past high school being restructured to that which is more viable, say trade school or something else... and debt load kept WAY down.
Here are some videos to back up what I am talking about:
