The schools promise these young kids all kinds of things. It was rampant in the technical schools teaching ex cops, plumbers, or carpenters to pass their MCSE. They’d promise these people $70k right out of school even when there were no jobs for experienced engineers.

No one promised me a damn thing. There wasn’t even Computer Science when I went to college (I am an IT professional) — my degree was in Business Administration (and has served me well in understanding business processes and details).

And did you see what she majored in “womyns studies and religion.” I am sure the Career Center had stacks of job openings for that particular skill set!
