http://money.cnn.com/2013/06/25/news/economy/malemployment-rate/index.html?source=cnn_bin In 2007 the percentage of college grads working jobs not requiring a degree was 27.4% and now it's 36.7%. Mal employed recent college grads earn 40% less than their peers who found work requiring a college degree and with the cost of student loans things just keep getting worse. My two stepsons graduated in 2011 and the one with a mathmatics degree w/associated teaching certificate works as an I.T. tech and the one with a Communications degree works as a librarian tech. Both jobs don't require a degree.
If you go to school and get a footba ... er ... communications degree you deserve to work at Starbucks.
I can tell you that I will most likely be moving out of Oregon after I graduate. I have no idea why so many young college grads are moving here. There's no jobs.
The culture is great...... if you can find a job. How are you supposed to enjoy the culture when you're working at Starbucks and you have a ton of student loans you have to pay off? Not my idea of the "American Dream".
The "American Dream" didn't involve taking on student loans. The idea that everybody should be getting advanced degrees silly. When everybody goes to get advanced degrees, you haven't accomplished anything other than taking on student loans.
best bet is to move to North Dakota and work in the oil industry. :MARIS61: all regular jobs out there are shit now. turnover is high and even with a degree you're looking at entry level bullshit forever.
Problem is these damn kids these days. They expect things to be handed to them. They think if they go to college, when they graduate, someone will just hand them a job. Or some shit like that.
I'm looking into teaching English in Japan when i graduate and i wanted nothing to do with teaching before.
Not gonna lie, that has a little to do with it, but i look like a beaner, not a blonde haired blue eyed murican that is seen as attractive over there.
yeah, light skin is valued in asia. it means you don't work outdoors in manual labor situations. maybe go for a hawaiian look?
Back when I was a young man, you dropped out of High School and got a job that supported a stay at home wife and kid, in the factory! They just have it too easy now.
