Others are settling for low-paying jobs they are overqualified for.

i think someone here is mistaken. this fellow is doing exactly what he is qualified to do, otherwise he would be doing something else.

You said — i think someone here is mistaken. this fellow is doing exactly what he is qualified to do, otherwise he would be doing something else.

Well, I would disagree with that one, in this kind of a market. When unemployment goes up and you’ve got the kinds of factory closings and layoffs that I’ve been reading about for months — it’s *for sure* that a great number of people are going to be taking jobs (if they can get one at all) that they are over-qualified for.

That’s something that I would call “self-evident”...

Bingo! The market is a harsh mistress, isn’t she? Train yourself for a dead-end, low-paying career in an obscure tiny market and guess what you end up doing for a living?
