Two professors look at the mystique around universities and the
consequences of "credentialism." For decades, we have promoted the
idea that a university degree is a passport to future career
success. Ken Coates and Bill Morrison argue that the over-promotion
of higher education and university degrees is actually undermining
the lives of young people, saddling them with enormous debts, and
costing governments huge amounts of money. As the young flock to
universities in ever-increasing numbers, fewer of them than ever
find the elusive "good jobs" that they are pursuing. In fact, many
of those jobs no longer exist. We are in the midst of a youth
employment crisis that is global in proportion, and we are facing
serious misunderstandings about the unfolding career prospects for
young adults entering a world of rapid technological change. Ken
Coates and Bill Morrison explore the impacts of universities
turning out graduates with the wrong skills, and the consequences
of vanishing job opportunities.
