“A Duke University spokesman said that 40 percent of Duke’s engineering graduates cannot get engineering jobs. A Duke University publication suggests that the best prospect for good engineering jobs is for the U.S. government to start another major project like going to the moon.”
Nice. World Net Daily even embeds some hyperlinks in the passage to make it look authentic.
I graduated from a respected chemical engineering program in 1998 (at the height of Clinton’s “best economy in history”), and I couldn’t find an engineering job for about 2 years. Even then, it was a gov’t regulatory bureaucrat position.
What a coincidence. NASA has started a new program for going to the moon.
I’m not familiar with the current hiring practices of graduates, I do know from experience, that if someone has a degree and worked in the companies I worked for, they would receive more pay over their employment period. Most non-degreed pay scales flatten off after over time, while those positions for degreed personnel, tend to get promotions, especially to management positions.

Call the WAAAHMBULANCE - ickle educrat’s didies are in a series knot.
