Amusing.
Did you know that the secgment of the population having the most difficulty finding jobs is recent college grads?
There are exceptions to that of course, for those with technical degees, but the majority of people with liberal arts, or humanities, social services, basically those who man the ranks of all other types of jobs it takes to run a viable society are scrambling to find work that pays a living starting wage.
And as I find more and more people with low level technical degrees also scrambling, all I can think is that the problems are getting worse for all of us regardless of what we studied.
It a "who you know", not a "what you know" world of employment increasingly.
Less and less decent jobs (when compared to the population overalll, I mean) while more and more of us are educating ourelves (and borrowing to do so, I might add) in the hopes of finding decent employment in our areas of study.
Why do you think there are so damned many lawyers?
We're not all going to be propellor heads.
Society needs some balance or the whole thing starts to fall apart.
You'll see, if you don't see yet, what I'm talking about.
Wow! What a concept. Those that lack the skills that business needs have a higher level of unemployment. The job market is FLOODED with all the worthless degrees in sociology, history, language, music, art.... Business needs ENGINEERS, they need COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS, they need marketers skilled in stochastic modeling, i.e. they need TECHNICAL people who have actual ability in MATHEMATICS, CALCULUS, STATISTICAL ANALYSIS.... all the "hard" stuff most college students are TOO LAZY to work at. The stuff business needs is the HARD stuff. But the lazy gen-xer's aren't interest in hard things.
Tough shit. Sociologists, and mush brained artists are worthless to business. Engineers, market analysts, programmers, are what we need. If you have a degree in composition, sociology, history....get a job as a waiter because we in business have NO USE FOR YOU!!!!
