“It’s been a couple of years since I’ve had the opportunity to deliver a presentation at the NACE annual conference and I’m excited about doing so again next spring. NACE conferences are always very well attended by hundreds of the world’s leading employers of university students and recent graduates and even more college career service office professionals. The organizers are always laser focused on delivering the content that their members want, regardless of whether those members are new to the field or have decades of experience,” said Rothberg.

Video Interview in U.K. Immediately After Keynote About U.S. Job Market for College Grads

Many of the issues we’re facing are similar to those they’re facing. They’re experiencing some of them before we do and we’re experiencing some before they do.One issue that I knew was important but didn’t realize just how important it would be to them was the high cost of attending just about any type of post-secondary school. The cost of attending a higher education institution is far higher in the U.S. than it is in almost any other country and FAR higher than it is to attend an equivalent school in the United Kingdom. But their recent implementation of austerity measures threatens to put their schools on a similar path to that which our schools have long been on. Without exception, every attendee and organizer with whom I spoke greatly appreciated my urging that they do not follow our lead as we are making higher education impossible for many and soon, I fear, for most. As bad as that would have been decades ago, it is even worse moving forward as we cannot and should not hope to compete against other nations to see which can manufacture goods at the lowest possible cost. Unless we want our citizenry to again have third world standards of living, we need to ensure they have first world standards of work. And that means that we need a workforce which uses the muscles between their ears more than the muscles on their backs. Continue Reading
