　　Is the “Go to College” message overdone?

　　Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn't the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.

　　“We've been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there's a lot of truth to that，”Ms Sawhill said.“On average it does pay off…But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don't graduate, that is a very bad situation.”

　　One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April's national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labour Department. The unemployment rate for high school graduates over 25 years old who hadn't attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor's degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16～24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.
