She’s hoping for something that will advance a career in her chosen field, print journalism
Brian Miller, 27, is looking for new work, preferably a position that would put his bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies and his master’s degree in public health
Jones, a political science major minoring in ethics.
My god! Doesn't anyone major in practical fields anymore!

No it requires thinking and hard work yes I will have fries with that.
Hey now! I have a BA in English and working on my MA in English Technical Communications, and I'm a systems engineer for a health care organization. Not everyone who goes to college does so in the pursuit of a specific track on which they're staking their lives. I happen to be a computer tinkerer, and I managed to get myself into a great job after college. Some people pursue what interests them, job market be damned! I knew full well that a degree in English wouldn't get me bupkiss, but I excelled in it and have some of my works published as a result.
That being said, these kids need to stop whining! I'm very late GenX (1980), and I spent over a year living with my mom while I got myself on my feet. Thanks to the ministry of Dave Ramsey, I got my life together, paid off my debts, and now I have a beautiful home, a good, stable job, and a decent amount of savings, even though most of that winds up in my gun safe. ;)
The whiny media pisses me off. These kids can find work. So what if they have to run a register at Office Depot for a few months? At least there's work out there to be had! I worked construction, did electrical apprentice work, plumbing, tile, stocked shelves at Publix, ran a Blockbuster video, and spent 4 hours every Saturday in a soup kitchen after I got out of college to make ends meet and occupy my time. These iPod drones don't know how to get off their lazy butts and find something productive to do!
Anti-Political Science, Cheap shot Sarcasm TorpedoTM ARMED. FIRE!!
Does he mean ethics like this?
"In the book, Obama acknowledges that he used cocaine as a high school student but rejected heroin. "Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though," he says."
Cheers!
Of course they do, it's just that the engineering, teaching, nursing, and business majors don't make good copy 'cause they're able to go out and find work. So maybe this year the engin grads have 3 offers instead of 10; they'll live.
Gee, and the chick who who wants to go into print journalism - doesn't she see what's happening in that field? I see another happy McDonald's worker in the making.
