Remember the housing bubble that collapsed in 2008? The causes look obvious in hindsight: easy credit overheated demand that lead to unsustainably high prices with catastrophic results. The same thing is happening in college education. In The College Myth, Gene Kelly exposes higher education as an over-inflated bubble built on misinformation and debt. The truth is that college is not necessary to achieve success, and in many cases, it is an obstacle to success. The College Myth might just be the pin that bursts this bubble. In the 21st century, the sure-fire route to financial success is learning the trades. Kelly shows how colleges are failing our young people by not teaching them the skills that will be in-demand in the 21st century as the United States fixes its infrastructure, and instead piling debt on students while preparing them for "knowledge-worker" jobs that are disappearing fast.

INTERVIEW SAMPLE FROM HFF RADIO |
"We need a national PR Campaign in this country for skilled labor. Something that addresses the widening skills gap head on and reconnects the country with the most important part of our workforce. Now American Manufacturing is struggling to fill 200,000 vacant positions. And, right now we have 450,000 openings in the trades, transportation and utilities. The skills gap seems real and is getting wider." "This literally changed my life." |
