Agreed, and that’s why the article is so important — we really need to reevaluate the desire to push everyone into college, no matter what. As a parent, it’s depressing to read about all of the college graduates — of all kinds — who are struggling so much. If you read the (new) lawyer blogs and forums, the news there is just as bad. We are all forced into this race to the bottom, and too few people are even aware of it.
Just trying to point out what CE said so much better (my first post was not clear): Vegas is an outlier. Most service workers in the U.S. would struggle far more than those in Vegas. All the points mentioned by Brian and CE are valid.
But I also agree with you that Vegas is a horrible, miserable, depressing place (just IMO). There is not enough money in the world to make me want to live there.
