Chinese University Grads, Migrant Workers earn same?

The migrant worker says the the university student: You spent money to go to college, yet your income is the same as me who did not go to college!

There must be more to this story, but ironically I find this cartoon very funny! Workers earning the same as university grads. Mao would be happy. We see this happen here as well. Friends here in Toronto, Canada have been telling me that trades and construction workers are doing well, but university grads are starving for jobs. One hopes that education will return as being valued by employers. When I cannot say.

Link off the cartoon to China Smack. The translated comments could have just as well come from Canadian university students rather than Chinese university students. I suspect that China’s explosion of education facilities has led to a watering down of education levels but a tsunami of graduates each year.

Does this happen with universities and community colleges here in Canada? I suspect it does.
