Great jobs were not exactly plentiful in 1971.

I recently talked with a man at a graduation party. He told me about his son, majoring in gender studies and poetry. I asked him how this kid expected to get a job with that. He looked at me and said “The boy told me that once he graduates there will be many companies that will pay him what he’s worth.”. We both just stood silent shaking our heads. Then I asked why was he paying for it. He basically started to cry so I slinked away.

Maybe because the longer one is in school and is not actually producing something economically viable the more likely they are to become a whinny liberal who feel they are entitled to cash and prizes just for being so sensitive and morally pure. And yet they are of no practical use to society. Weird how all that liberal philosophy, debt, drunkenness and fornication would not prepare one for business and life. But I bet they rock on Halo and call of duty not to mention facebook.

Nearly 45% of college students who graduated during the last five years count as underemployed in this manner, according to new data compiled by economists at the New York Federal Reserve.

How many voted Obama?

“Damned transgender pottery industry tanked.....who coulda seen that comin?”

I was at dinner and met my friend’s, daughter’s husband. He told me he was getting his PhD in Russian Art Literature. The parents all studiously studied their plates and the daughter was silent. I stared at this guy incredulously and asked, “Is there a job in that someplace?” He said, “Well, yes, but the only one is when my major professor retires.” I said, “When will that be?” His wife said, “He’s forty.” Total silence. You could hear people chewing. I said, “You’re kidding, right?” Long silence. “Nope.”

Then, I realized I had wandered into a mine field and dropped the subject. But the dinner conversation was zero for several minutes.

Later, the daughter divorced this guy because he was planning on being a student for the rest of his life and she’d decided to move on. She remarried somebody with a job and they’ve been very happy and had children.

I have no idea what happened to Mr. Russian Art Literature.

Back in the day, you didn't hire people like this, you called the cops to chase them away.

degrees in worthless fields and specialties. degrees in already-over-saturated fields. degrees in areas where paying your dues by working up a ladder is part of being in that line of work.
