The Smartest Generation

According to a recent study our generation is the most "educated" generation in American history. We have the highest amount of college graduates and high school graduates compared to all other times in our history. With all the brains and knowledge our generation has complied will we be able to discover the path to saving our nation for economic recession, and bridging the political gap? So far we are not off to a good start. with only one in four voting and even less actually involved in the political process.  Along with the being the "smartest generation" we are also the most unemployed and most in debit generation. 

There is nothing more explosive (politically and socially) then highly educated people without work. Throughout history all great discoveries and inventions good or bad come out of desperate times. The historic revolutions of our world, culturally or military  have been are championed by those who are educated and unemployed, and our nation is full of both. As our current system shows the doors of colleges are opening up a lot fast then that of the working world. It will be interesting to see what our generation creates for itself. In time what will our revolution be for?
