O-4 College

This article on college really interested me.  The title itself was an eye popper.  I must admit that  getting the money for college is rather expensive.  It can take years just to save up money for a good college, even community college.  This helps if young people have jobs and if the parents save money.  That was not the eye popper.
What surprises me is there are so many youth in poverty.  "Although many of their prospects are rising, they are emerging from conditions of widespread poverty and lack of access to the most important means of economic mobility: education. In the Middle East and North Africa, youth unemployment has been stuck above 20 percent for the last two decades. And in the parts of the world where youth unemployment has been low, such as south and east Asia, young people are overwhelmingly employed in the agriculture sector, which leaves them vulnerable to poverty." That is crazy. In the world today, college graduates will earn 80% more than those who are in poverty.  That is highly likely, but I know that's crazy. 

It is crazy that a lot of youth are unemployed considering  that a lot of the countries are in poverty.  Youth are mostly unemployed in Italy. After Italy are Spain, England, Greece and then our country, the US.  I'm going top put that graph in my blog because it is rather interesting.




This article was interesting to read.
