However that depends on whether the degree holder can find a job at all. In the current economic situation in the  U.S. college grads looking to enter the work force to start their lives are facing bleak prospects and opportunities while carrying record amounts of student loan debt.

Jack Abramoff opens up to 60 Minutes about lobbyist and government corruption

He aggressively took them to task for ignoring their responsibility to the American people and to democracy calling it a “betrayal”. You don’t have a democracy when you don’t have a free press. The media representation in the room had a visible look of shame on their faces....
