It is Going to be a NEW World, Kiddies
The socioeconomic fabric in the United States is changing. Our society is becoming computerized thus an advanced skill set is required. Besides an extremely advanced skill set, education at the Masters, even Doctorate levels will be required to have a modicum of a solidly middle class existence. A Bachelor's Degree is now equivalent to a high school education. Anyone w/ a Bachelor's Degree has to attain an advanced education if h/she wants to be at the professional level. Anyone who feels that a Bachelor's Degree is enough will be consigned to a service or Mcjob(unless it in the STEM subjects).
As middle & lower white collar jobs will be downsized, even eradicated, the middle class as we know it will be drastically reduced. Such people will become part of the lower classes unless they elect to upgrade their skill sets & education. There will only be TWO socioeconomic classes in the future- the VERY RICH & VERY POOR, w/ very few people in between. Welcome to the NEW dystopian world, my children. Your thoughts?
