I think there are two different problems:

First there are the adult education schools that really mislead people. They play commercials at 11 AM during Maury Povich saying that in 6 months you can learn to be medical assistant and get a job and a new house as soon as you graduate. Those commercials are pretty misleading but at the same time their gread toward adults who have been in the workforce for a while and should know enough to do some research.

The other problem is the way our high schools funnel students into 4-year colleges by making them feel like their only options are college, the Army, or McDonalds. The result is thousands of college freshmen who have no clue about what they want to do or what theyre good at so they get psychology and business degrees because it sounds good.

I'm guessing that in most cases, people who are at home at 11am watching crap like Maury have no intention of really getting back into the work force (if they were ever there to begin with).

The achievers are usually well into work at 11am.

But those adult education programs as mentioned hold as much validity at the 11am lawyer commercials.
