And anyone with half a brain will note that I committed a logical fallacy as well. Mea Culpa. Please insert the words "I believe" before the last two sentences.

The divorce rate, breast feeding, college money saving, busy parents, and television are post hoc fallacies.
We don't have good public schools because there is no value. They are "free". Americans will value education when they have to pay for it themselves without the government holding the pursestrings.

Agreed. Coming out of UCSD with even my paltry BA in CSE, I found a job within a month being marginally underpaid doing IT/Development/Database/Anything moderately computer related for a local publishing company.
Of the people I've met who are out of work, they all seem to either a) interview TERRIBLY, b) have an EXTREMELY limited skill set, or c) They have a "that's good enough, why do more?" attitude when it comes to IT or development.
