NaturalNews) Shelling out tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars
for higher education may no longer be the surefire path to a great
career that it used to be. A recent report compiled by the education
resource group OnlineColleges.net found that more than 300,000
Americans with either Master's degrees or Ph.D.s were receiving food
stamps in 2010 -- and many more are likely on some form of government
assistance today as economic conditions since that time have only
continued to worsen.
To give a point of reference as to how bad
the situation truly is, there were fewer than 100,000 Americans with
Master's degrees or Ph.D.s on food stamps in 2007, which means the
overall number of people with extensive college educations on government
assistance more than tripled in just three years. And if this trend
continued at the same rate between 2010 and 2013, the total number of
college educated on government assistance today has easily eclipsed more
than half a million, and with no end in sight.
