Graduates Settle For Less

Graduates Settle For Less

Graduates Settle for Less as their Degrees Gather Dust (Houston Chronicle): “Chisom Uluh hoped to use his University of Houston communication degree to produce movies or TV shows. Today, he’s selling mattresses. Anna Knippel graduated with a degree in business administration a year ago, ready to help companies set up computer networks. She’s now interpreting sign language at Houston Community College.  Rice economics graduate Renata Escovar got turned down for a waitressing job.”

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
