The Golden Age of Education

>10 years ago, if you did well in high school you’d get into college. If you went to college and finished your degree, with fairly high likelihood you could get a job with a respectable salary.

That's still true or, at least, as true as it was 10 years ago (assuming you choose an employable major). The poster goes on to talk about the high unemployment rate -- with the implication that it's the fault of our universities -- but completely ignores the fact that today's high unemployment rates are largely driven by poor employment options for those who didn't go to college [1]. Berating our higher education system for a problem it has nothing to do with seems strange.

And then it turns out that the whole post is an excuse to plug the poster's startup.

[1] See for example http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t04.htm. As of December 2001, unemployment rate for college grads is only 4.1%, compared to 8.7% for high school diploma holders and 13.8% for those who didn't finish high school.
