Even if we fixed the hiring process and streamlined the whole thing, wouldn't most unemployed Americans still have difficulty finding work due to the sheer volume of applicants?

There used to be a huge demand for computer sciences, and then we ran into things like the dot-com bust and people with that exact skill not being able to find jobs

Want to know how I know you have no clue what you're talking about? Using phrases like "the dot.com bust" and saying CS degrees aren't in demand anymore is hilariously wrong.

Or X number of people with this degree, so they can ONLY go into these specific positions

You're entirely missing the point. It has nothing to do with major, and everything to do with having the degree in the first place. Transferring skills from one industry to another is not hard, but most mid-tier jobs and above require a degree specifically because those jobs typically want higher level talent that can be developed into a management position.

There will be a finite number of jobs open at any point in time, and of those jobs employers will want the best available talent. If the number of degrees increases, so too will the qualifications needed for ANY mid tier job. They are directly proportional.

There seems to be a lot of concept that you want to oversimplify and then not understand.

From the guy who uses terms like "The dot com bust" trying to seem educated about computer science. lol. OK man.

we have an honest discussions about where the failings really come from?

Clearly you don't know where the failings are coming from, you're pulling things out of your ass, just like the other guy who said that private businesses supply the majority of student loans.

How can I have an honest discussion with a dishonest person? Nothing I've said has been incorrect on any level, and I can back up every single point with a study, a regression analysis, a chi squared correlation test, whatever you want, I don't particularly care.
