MBA Grads? What about BA and BS grads? None of them can get a job! If they do it’s for minimum wage!

My girlfriends son graduated in May with a BA, moved to Rhode Island and delivering pizza’s. The irony of it all, is that he’s a big lib and Obummer supporter. Hehehe...

Keep us updated, please. I'd be interested to see how he votes next year, after 15 months in the real world.

According to BLS http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t04.htm, unemployment among those with a "bachelor's degree and above" is 4.3% but it's 15.0% among HS dropouts. Living with mom and dad and delivering pizzas or serving cappuccinos may suck, but it's still a lot better than living in a cardboard box on the street or one of the Obamaville tent cities!

My kid just earned her MS but had her "dream job" 4 or 5 months before she received the degree. So like everything "it all depends".

I turned down an ivy school for my (much cheaper) State U MBA some 20 years ago. (I had a kid and a mortgage.) I'm still not sure it was the right decision. Was it worth it? Dunno -- but I had FUN! I still use some of the stuff I learned on occasion. I wouldn't recommend spending a ton of money on a second or third tier MBA degree.
