The document discusses the declining median family income in the US since 2007 and questions the necessity of a college degree for some jobs. It notes that median family income has fallen by over $5,000 in recent years. It then sarcastically claims that a college degree is now required even for low-skilled jobs like file clerk. Finally, it estimates the total cost of living expenses from age 18 to the present to be over $150,000, implying that the value of a college degree should be carefully considered given rising costs.
