Well here’s an idea Rachel Percele. Why didn’t you get a degree that’s worth a damn like economics or engineering. “Human development”?! That’s a major? That’s like majoring in Things and minoring in Stuff.

If everyone had a degree someone would still have to flip the burgers,
and clean the toilets.

It could be worse—it could be “Womans Studies”. Human Development sounds like something you could use in a personnel dept, at least. Or go into sales (which pays great if you’re good at it). Honestly, this kids must know that getting a vanilla liberal arts degree is a crap shoot.

What’s “Human Development”? Surely not some kind of biogenetic science, or the girl would have a job.

My daughter is attending a local public college, majoring in Criminal Justice. After paying perhaps $15,000 *total*, she can *realistically* expect this to prepare her for a successful career in the military or law enforcement.

LOL. But I think you forgot to say "Things Studies" and "Stuff Studies".

Aren't you years toooo late in your advice. I think Rachel has learned that she spent years of her life working for a piece of paper for $85,000, and has NO 'hope' to pay that loan off, let alone earn enough to pay for her housing.

Maybe some government agency will spam her into buying another piece of paper called a mortgage and she can go further into debt.

The MSM proudly proclaimed that the overwhelming majority of under 40 college educated crowd were Bama supporters. Rachel did sign up to pay to play and who in her world is now going to be there with a hand out to keep her in debt to them.... Think Rachel was educated about 'freedom'. No she got taught the scientific methodology of how the fittest survive. What are her options? Remember Bama won, and who is going to 'free' Rachel?

But if we lead young people to believe that they need to borrow money to major in more and more “things and stuff” we can hide the fact that there are fewer and fewer jobs and less and less actual growth. So it will keep us from having to face the actual unemployment problem and the cessation of the creation of actual wealth.

We can all “community organize,” doncha know?

You could get a masters in Bolivaran Circles.

““Human development”?! That’s a major? That’s like majoring in Things and minoring in Stuff.”

Rachel, let not you heart be troubled by that mean old VA_Gentleman. Obama will hire you. In fact, you have exactly the sort of degree he and his adminstration will be looking for...
