12 years of college down the drain.

I’ve decided to perform a public service myself by highlighting the tragedy of OWS. Accordingly, I’m dedicating today’s post to the People of Occupy Wall Street (POWS). They’ll tell you in their own words how they came to be part of the 99%. A portion of all proceeds from today’s post will be donated to the 501(c)(9) charity, Graduates With Severe Economic Disorders. You can read their complete stories on the People of Occupy Wall Street website, where I’m betting you can make a donation too.
Here are the plights of just a few of the 99 percenters; I’ll let them tell you their stories in their own words:

Some engineering fields are dying for lack of opportunity but electrical, computer and other more technical, non-mechanical engineering fields are still good. So good that we need to import many from India to meet the demand, at least Rockwell Collins here in Iowa seems to.
I have a relative who graduated with a degree in psych. He realized it best prepared him to go back and get a degree in Computer Science.
Their theme song should be “White Punks on Dope” by The Tubes.
I understand they were less patient in Boston.
Lol. What a penis-head that dude is. I like the 53%’s on Glen Beck’s website better.
ROFL!
At least he had the good sense to go "get a real major". I suspect that Miss Nosering may not be quite so sharp.
Agreed. A degree in Poli Sigh, Liberal FArts, Psychology, Art History, may land you a job... as a Starbucks Barista.
DC Government is insane. Remember that former Mayor Marion “Bitch Set Me Up” Barry now sits on the City Council.
College is a racket and a ponzi scheme if you go to major in anything other than the hard sciences, engineering, some really specific Business degrees, or Math. Other than that its a money racket for the fat cat Administrators for you to pay their luxury car note.
12 years of college down the drain.
No job is ever beneath you. These spoiled, lazy dopes get no sympathy from me.
Yes, Queen for a Day. Youtube it if you have never seen it. Probably the worst game show in the history of game shows. The winner was the women who told the most tragic story.
Paying with what I don’t have. ANy personal responability there? Somehow I doubt it.
Yes - Math, Science, and Engineering are hard. That’s the point. Why pay to take something that is NOT hard. Just go to work right out of High School. Or go to “trade school” and learn how to do something useful.
There used to be no stigma for someone to work with their hands, but people don’t want to be welders, or mechanics, or restaurant workers, or machinery operators, or factory workers nowadays. It’s beneath them. It isn’t a “degree”.
The motto of the worthless Memphis City School system a few years ago was, “Every Child, Every Day - College Bound.” That’s just not realistic. College is not for everyone. Or at least it wasn’t until all these useless degrees were invented.
Hows about getting a “killer” haircut from this century, not a 1950s goombah pompador.....
C’mon, Man! Get hold of yourself. I’m an Engineer (your age), and I’ve adapted - I now run multi-million dollar projects for a major corporation. It’s not “real” engineering, (I would love to get back to manufacturing) but with my ME background and mindset, it works well.
My Cousin got out-sourced and started his own fencing business. With his engineering background and work ethic, he’s doing pretty well.
For less than $20k, you can start your own digital T-shirt printing company out of your garage. With a web-site, you could stay busy and make pretty good money. Shake it off! There is nothing a good Engineer can’t do! We solve problems! Solve this one! Start something!
Yup, fortunately they sure do. Daughter just finished at Cal Poly last June, structural engineering, had a job 2 weeks later only 4 miles from her home with an engineering firm that she loves. In the Bay Area of California, no less.
At this point, though, they're simply parroting the liberal bromides of the groups that are paying for them to be there; ACORN, ANSWER, SEIU, MoveOn.org, etc.
I wonder how many times the word “killer” appears in his resume?
