American Dream?


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
