Did the younger people find better jobs? You used to have all these jobs for people who were maybe a bit smarter than average with good judgment. In the 1990s, the local community college used to advertise associates degrees for paralegals. That's a job that doesn't exist in the same way anymore thanks to computers. Now it's become an internship for kids with top credentials before they go to law school. Which is fine for them, but what about everyone else?

It seems to me like all of these people are flocking now to healthcare fields. That seems totally unsustainable.

Why? There will never be a shortage of sick/dying people. So medical staff, and also undertakers, aren't going anywhere.
