BA Grad in What? Art History? Philosophy? History?

Grads in Engineering, Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Nursing, id est degrees that train you for SOMETHING, are doing well indeed.

Yep, we are paying $60,000 to engineering grads with no experience.

LOL.

I would agree with you that Pharmacy and Nursing grads are doing well, in fact there seems to be a shortage. But, at least locally, there have been a glut of engineering grads, I know a couple younger guys who are still looking, more than a year later, and they aren't slackers, they continue to look while working in retail.

There is no middle management role for English and History grads anymore. There is no middle management anymore.

I am 26 with a B.S. in Chemistry (graduated in 2001) and its been very difficult finding a real full time job. For the past 4 years (spent the first year after college at a grad school) I have worked various R&D temp jobs.

If you dig deep enough in the box, you'll find the raisins.
