And the Purpose of College Graduation Is?

Once again, our president has declared that we must regain the title of "country with the most college graduates." This despite the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that most of the job openings over the next 10 years will not require a college degree. Surely the president knows this......so what is his purpose? Pushing people to college is only going to leave many of them in debt up to their ears, and many of them will wind up unemployed or underemployed.
