One recent college graduate is so frustrated with her lack of job prospects that she's attempting to sell off her college degree - for $50,000.
Stephanie Ritter, a 26-year-old Florida State University alum, has listed her diploma on eBay for the staggering sum to cover the 'actual cost' of attending the school.

Comment: "Stephanie majored in theatre." I think I see the problem.
My daughter majored in Poly Sci. Graduated and packed up and moved to DC. She waited tables and worked for a temp agency for 4 months and then landed an entry level job with a consulting firm.
Fast forward two years and she is in Graduate School pursuing a very rigorous program that will land her a 6 figure job when she finishes up.
Of course she could have taken another path and majored in theater.

Stephanie will be on the campaign trail with either Hillary, Sanders or Jeb.

Q: Is there money in a theater degree?
Stephanie: Yes, I left all mine there.
“Comment: “Stephanie majored in theatre.” I think I see the problem.”
Steph got a degree in “Instant Unemployment Degree”.
She has zero marketable skills with her worthless IUD!
She could start carrying a queen sized mattress around a college campus, and start crowd funding about needed to hire a lawyer to build a case against a possibly imaginary stalker.
I had this conversation...some guy thinking he needed an MBA to open a business. I showed him a Forbes article on the top earning degrees...MBA wasn’t one of them. The information is out there. Getting a Bachelor’s in Theater is as useful as this girl has found!
Aside from the type of degree; sometimes the only solution is to MOVE to a state where they are ADDING jobs.

Majored in Theater????
Did she miss the single most important class: Casting Couch 101????
It’s strange that Math would be among the best yet Industrial Engineering among the worst....for me it was mostly applied math, and too theoretical at that....
