There is a growing trend of college students unfortunately applying for governmental assistance since many of these students do not have enough sufficient income to sustain themselves. This is not new as we see many college students across the country applying on welfare. But my main concern is about Romney's 47% as being taker's of assistance I have to ask why do people label welfare recipients as "lazy?" Are we looking at those who don't attain jobs? Are we looking at the fact that its a race issue?
Part of the problem is ...your pet college students think many jobs are beneath them.
lots of dishwasher jobs out there... lots of maid jobs... lots of babysitting jobs...
Just becasue you have a degree is not a guarantee of getting the job of your choosing..in the field of your choosing.
Give me a break with this freggin comment. Me and ten other graduates with our Masters worked at temp jobs because we all were laid off. No jobs were hiring due to budgets and the real jobs were out of state but the problem is the other states pay less than California. Not only will it cost us to move but this doesn't factor out storage cost, finding housing etc.
What did we do? Apply for welfare and work temp jobs. A buddy of mine who has his J.D recently got a job doing housekeeping cause his firm closed and he needed some money to stay afloat.
I bounced from temp job to temp job. I even became a bouncer for a night club. My rent was always late because my unemployment paid half of what I made
No family to take me in, near being homeless. Worked as a delivery driver for pizza hut and I had an accomplished academic background. I made shit. You don't know how it feel to have people ask you "you have that many degrees and your working here?" So please spare me.
Its obvious your not a college student, this reality is all too common.
What's your undergrad and masters in? Where do you live? Have you ever considered moving?
