When you transition away from “an employment” economy that means you lose your job!
Welcome to the United States of Europe!!
many many obama voters in that crowd
sometimes it sucks to get what you wish for
Explains why the University of Iowa’s Writers Workshop is known as the Waiters Workshop.
Follow the news stories on the economy over the last five years involving the US, Europe and even Asia.
We are in an economic death spiral. And it IS picking up speed.
High schools do not confer Degrees! Diplomas, yes. Degrees NO!
What, no degrees in dead-assed government work?
That’s where the only growth seems to be in the Obamaconomy.
These people better hurry up and find work, there is a $200 TRILLION debt hanging over their heads also, couple that with student loan debt and America’s Youth is so screwed. But I bet they all learned to put condoms on in 4 languages.

Well, they sotta got their wish. If they really dig deep into their pockets they will find the “change” and they can “hope” they can live on it.
Maybe next election they will think it through a little more.
Unfortunately, this kid didn't learn any logic or critical reasoning or he would know exactly what to do to enhance this bogus degree.
Universities should be sued for offering degrees that don't result in jobs.
I graduated in 91 and spent the next 6 years working DEAD END Jobs. Eventually, I got my class A cdl while working part time at a bar(cook/barback/doorman-—the grunt jobs) for extra cash.
After several years of pulling double duty with two jobs, I saved up enough money to BUY the bar. I’m not at all rich but I don’t starve.
Nobody gave it to me, I had to earn it. So shall these new college grads. Most of us will start at the basement and crawl our way up the rusted,rotten, ladder of success doing tasks we NEVER imagined we’d be doing but we do it anyway to achieve the American Dream and the Dream is NOT at all like Hollywood describes it.
From what I’ve read on FR, my story is one of many.
And these student loan debt-laden liberal arts students cant’ even connect the dots between their lack of employment opportunities in 2012 and their votes for Zerobama and the Democrats in 2008.
Ummm, yeah....
Nephew with a marketing degree still can’t find work 2 years after graduation. Friends 2 sons graduated with welding engineer degrees both got great jobs in their field after internships and both next year will be making more $ than their manager father.
Die. Especially if they are white. They are messing up the environment, anyway.
I think the real number is a lot higher than 53%. My observation of my children and their friends makes me think it is more like 80%.
There are no jobs for people who have worked successfully for 20 to 30 years. I was recently told a young RN graduate has been unable to find a nursing job 8 months since her graduation.
Everyone I talk to says people who have jobs are scared of being let go.
I don’t believe for a second that the true number is as low as 53%.
Think about this statement and it tells you nothing about the prospects of math and engineering majors. Stupid argument.
I prefer denying student loans or finacial aid for non-science degrees. If you want to major in “women’s studies” you can pay for it out of your own pocket and not the taxpayers since you will probably never earn enough to pay it off.
