I believe the so called youth vote/millenials will not turn out in high numbers for obama. They really like being able to buy things and than only happens if they, or their parents, have jobs. You know..jobs...that three letter word according to Joe Biden.
I have no problem with this because a majority of the little dopes vote democrat, just like in 1980. Stupid ass, Che loving marxist retards can go on welfare. It’s BO’s pleasure.
What we need to do is forgive their student loans and immediately offer them unemployment benefits because unemployment compensation creates jobs per Nancy Pelosi. / SAR
Here's a thought, Mr. Bledsoe...rather than blow another $75,000 on a graduate degree, when you're "not even sure what you're looking for..." is throwing good money after bad. If you want to get out from under that undergrad debt, go to a community college and pick up a trade or license as a plumber or electrician. Then, you'll be able to use your creative writing degree to draft up proposals and bids for jobs.
Younger voters shift from Obama
http://dailycaller.com/2012/04/25/younger-voters-shift-from-obama/
Once thought to be solidly behind President Barack Obama, younger voters burdened by a bleak employment picture, high gas prices and student loan debt are being aggressively wooed by the Democrat and his likely Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.
In 2008, Obama had a 34-point advantage over Republican Sen. John McCain among voters under age 30. He won about two-thirds of the vote in that age group.
But a new Harvard poll suggests the president may face a harder sales job with younger voters this time around. Obama led Romney by 12 points among those ages 18-24, according to the survey. Among those in the 25-29 age group, Obama held a 23-point advantage.
Its an opening Republicans hope to exploit by focusing on young peoples disillusionment with the candidate who promised hope and change.

I’m waiting for the first poster to say something along the lines of “The only decent major to have in college is engineering.”
C’mon I know you’re out there.
Excellent suggestion with zero chance of implementation.
Your plan would make sense to him if, instead of going to college, he had worked in any job for a couple of years.
College delays maturity.
With off-shoring, H1-B Visas and sending our technical projects to China/India/Singapore where the labor is cheaper - the days of the "Engineer" are pretty much gone. I can't say I'd recommend an engineering degree to anyone.
If I had been smart, I'd have pursued a degree in Healthcare Administration. I'd have a much higher salary, job security and expanded opportunties. Plus, no Theoretical Physics, Differential Equations, Advanced Calculus, Number Theory, Thermo/Dynamics/Statics, Materials Science, Antenna theory - the classwork would have been exponentially easier.
I saw the same article earlier in the week, over on the Yahoo Finance section--complete with a picture. It seems that Mr. Bledsoe also has a nose ring--the kind that goes through the septum--and some gaudy "ear lobe" rings (rivets?)
His "creative writing" degree may not be the ONLY thing, keeping him from a minimum-wage job.
I don’t remember Shakespeare, the Bronte sisters, Dickens, etc earning Creative Writing degrees from Oxford.
I guess Zero can’t expect much enthusiasm from Millenials this time given that so many are broke.
While it might not be exactly what they signed up for when they persued an engineering degree, there are still plenty of jobs out there for those with the degrees. There are jobs for project managers, quality managers, requirements' analysts, customer liasons, sales reps, etc. that are highly dependent on engineering backgrounds, and that are not nearly as outsourced as the actual engineer work.
Again, that might not be what they wanted to do, but they can continue to work in an engineering-related company or project.
That first lesson in the reality of Democrat economics, and it’s cause/effect relationship can be very harsh, and karmic.
It’s a damned shame this generation is having to learn, the hard way, that Democrat Rhetoric and Reality never match, like we did under Carter.
I believe the earrings are called “gauges”.
Oh, but, man...Obama is so “coooooool!”
Tell it to Jimmy Fallon. Maybe he can “slow jam” this news to all our nation’s little commie Obama lovin’ yufs.
Thanks for the information, I had no idea. I believe some hiring managers call them "job interview killers."
