MARIA: WELCOME BACK, NO DIPLOMA
WHAT THE COMPANIES ARE SAYING,
SAYING IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A BARRIER
FOR YOU TO WORK IN CERTAIN JOBS
AT OUR COMPANY SO WHAT ARE THESE
15 MAJOR COMPANIES THAT ARE
APPLE, GOOGLE, IBM, YOU MIGHT
NOT EXPECT TO SEE SOME OF THOSE
NAMES ON THAT LIST AND THEY ARE
DOING THIS AS WE GET AUGUST JOB
AND IT IS GOING DOWN AMONG THOSE
WHO DO NOT HAVE COLLEGE DEGREES,
IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE WITH HIGH
SCHOOL DIPLOMAS, UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE IN JULY WENT DOWN TO 4% AND
IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE WITH LESS
THAN A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA IT
WENT FROM ONE YEAR AGO 7% TO
5.1% NOW.
TUITION AND FEES FOR PRIVATE
SCHOOL $32,000 AND WE ARE
STUDENT LOAN DEBT, OR IS IT THAT
YOU MIGHT KNOW THE ANSWER TO
THIS, BRIAN, THE COLLEGES AREN'T
PREPARING AND TRAINING THE --
THE STUDENTS, WHETHER IT'S
CODING, SOME OF THE VOCATIONAL
SKILLS, HAVE WE LOWERED OUR
STANDARDS, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM
PROFESSOR.
YOU CAN'T BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
>> NO, ACTUALLY I AM HAPPY ABOUT
IT.
LOOK, THE FACT THAT FOR MANY,
MANY STUDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO
COLLEGE FOR 4 TO 5 OR 6 YEARS,
WHEN THEY ARE GETTING OUT WITH
DEGREE, THEY DON'T HAVE THE
SKILLS THAT EMPLOYERS WANT AND
EMPLOYERS ARE SAYING, IF WE ARE
GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS,
FORGET ABOUT IT.
COME WORK FOR US.
VALUE IN THE WORKPLACE, THEY ARE
NOT TEACHING THEM TO BE GOOD
PROFESSIONALS, THEY ARE SITTING
IN CLASSROOMS, THEY ARE HEARING
SOMEBODY --
JON: NOT ONLY THAT, THEY ARE
GET ALL OF THAT AND I THINK A
LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE WORKER SIDE
ARE SAYING, DO I NEED TO GO
THROUGH ALL OF THIS AND TAKE ON
OTHER SIDE I THINK YOU SAID
THERE'S A 3.9% UNEMPLOYMENT,
INDUSTRIES ACROSS THE ECONOMY
AND COMPANIES ARE SAYING, MAYBE
WE DON'T NEED COLLEGE GRADUATES
FOR THIS JOB OR THAT JOB, MAYBE
WE NEED TO BROADEN OUR HORIZON.
MARIA: BIG WORKER SHORTAGE IN
TRUCK DRIVERS.
AMAZON NEEDS TRUCK DRIVERS.
CONSTRUCTION.
LAUREN: EVEN FINANCIAL ADVISERS
AS THIS GENERATION GETS OLDER,
YEAH.
DAGEN: I'VE BEEN ADVOCATE -- MY
BACK AND DO IT AGAIN WE WOULD
OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL TRY AND WORK
FOR MAJOR CORPORATION AND GET ON
THE JOB TRAINING BECAUSE
ULTIMATELY IT KEEPS YOU --
PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY SPENDING A
QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS FOR
AN EDUCATION, THAT'S WHAT THEY
ABOUT, MORE OF THESE TECHNOLOGY
COMPANIES START EDUCATING PEOPLE
RIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, FIND
SMART KIDS AND BASICALLY MAKE
THEM SIGN A CONTRACT, WE WILL
GIVE YOU ON THE JOB TRAINING AND
WORK HERE 5 YEARS AND YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.
JON: HAVING SAID ALL OF THIS,
BRIAN, I'M SURE YOU CAN SPEAK TO
THIS, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PEOPLE
WITH COLLEGE DEGREE FAIR BETTER
IN LIFE --
MARIA: GOOD POINT.
>> THAT DOESN'T IMPLY CAUSATION,
