When you have McDonalds looking for 4 yr degree folks as first line grille supvs, you know the Baraqqi “new normal” has truly arrived.
Yes, I thought that was bizarre about McDonalds requiring 4-year degrees. However, I truly believe that kids can make it, whether they have a degree or not. It depends on individual initiative and hard work. My children are fortunate in that I gave them the means to earn their degrees. But I also have nephews and nieces without college degrees that are doing fine. I also have relatives with degrees that are doing poorly - but that’s due to their being unfocused and lazy. Not trying to generalize, I recognize that the Obama economy sucks, but initiative and hard work gives one an advantage.
