This tread is just tickling me to no end!

“Mr. Stegall is a graduate student at Florida State University, where he is finishing his dissertation in film studies. At night, after his 3-year-old and 3-month-old children have been put to bed, he grades a stack of composition papers or plugs away at his dissertation. (He’s writing about how Hollywood films portray Vietnam soldiers as psychotic men who return home destroyed by the war.) His wife is starting a two-year, online master’s degree program in criminology offered by Florida State. They receive food stamps, Medicaid, and aid from the Women, Infants, and Children program (known as WIC).”

These people are utterly USELESS!

"These people are utterly USELESS!"

You have touched on a general problem with a sizable percentage of college grads who have "failure to launch" syndrome. They have been raised and educated to feel they are special and will only work if they find the perfect job. Too many others have been shown that they can make more on various public assistance programs than they can by working so government dependency is fostered and continues to grow.
