I respect the under-employed far more than the “I can’t find the perfect job at high pay so I’ll stay at home” type. Working at Half Price Books or Subway makes you productive and a taxpayer, while living at home crying about the unfairness of the world hurts everyone.
The problem is that companies like Subway and Half-Price Books know that people with degrees will ditch their jobs as soon as something better comes along and, thus, do not hire them in the first place....
