Have you ever wondered what all those college students are actually learning?  Well, according to one shocking new study, they are apparently not learning much at all.  According to very extensive research detailed in a new book entitled "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses", 45 percent of U.S. college students exhibit "no significant gains in learning" after two years in college.  For many Americans, a statistic like that comes as a complete shock, but for anyone that has spent much time in or around U.S. colleges lately this should not come as much of a surprise.  This new research also found that today's students spend approximately 50% less time studying than U.S. college students did just a few decades ago.  What this research shows is what many of us have known for a long time - that the quality of college education in the United States today is a complete and total joke.

Not that there aren't some really good college educators out there.  But this should be a wake up call that massive reform is needed.

Most of the "real learning" that is taking place on college campuses actually occurs in graduate programs.

Sadly, many of these graduate programs are now dominated by foreigners.

In fact, close to half of all the graduate science students enrolled at colleges and universities in the United States are now foreigners.

Many of our brightest young minds are now flipping burgers or are welcoming people to Wal-Mart.

In fact, in the United States today 317,000 waiters and waitresses have college degrees.

Meanwhile, a lot of these young Americans are absolutely drowning in debt.  Americans now owe more than $875 billion on student loans, which is more than the total amount that Americans owe on their credit cards.

So how are these young people making it?

Well, they are moving back in with Mommy and Daddy of course.
