The “American Dream”. It has a different meaning to
everyone, some more traditional then others. The social norm I want a big house
with a beautiful wife or a husband. Mine is much more stereotypical then that. You
see we’ve based our dreams around what we want or what we think is essential to
us, but why can’t we base it on something more important. Sure a roof over your
head is important but reaching for something that seems to be unattainable set
goals seemingly impossible like being the president, finding a cure for the
common cold or even graduating college. Remember not everyone has the means and
recourses to have that privilege. Even those who do aren’t having the success that
has been promised to them. Recent studies have shown that 43% of recent college
graduates are currently at jobs that don’t require a college education.
(Heldrich center for workforce deployment) Is this our faults? Of course not
mostly because our parents have installed in us that college is the way to go
with our lives. Education is a huge part of my American Dream it’s the stepping
stone for our leaders. But its proving to be lessening in its importance what
are we really to do if we can’t even rely on our educations to propel us to our
dreams? It’s so bad that even people aren’t attending college and going straight
into the workforce literally were working longer and living shorter, and was
not even having fun as we do it national happiness is down since the Great Depression.
If it was up to me there would be a system that ensures college graduates the
jobs that there training for basically. The American Dream is blind to most
people because they are just unaware of their full potential
