Maybe she should have majored in something other than eco-tourism and cultural history.

Something useful, like gunsmithing or moose attack prevention.

“Coming to America.”

I believe it has already come.

could leave a permanent financial and psychological mark on a generation.

Laws that have made it difficult to fire workers have ... guess what ... made employers reluctant to hire them in the first place.

A girl like her would have been much better off learning the domestic arts and marrying a Swedish lumberjack and cooking, sewing, washing and having blond babies. That’s how it was. Now the kids get educated for bullshit jobs whether the jobs exist or not. So now she works for a useless non -profit. In America a lass like her would have gotten a law degree and gone to work for an environmental activist organization and become an attack dog against the private productive sectors.

I just had a preliminary phone interview with a developer candidate. He was 25ish. Within 3 minutes he had told me how much he hated corporate structure and being required to have semi-standard hours (his last employer wanted him in the office between 10-4 but it was annoying to him they asked him to come in earlier), how he disliked having to attend meetings that talked about design, “just let him code” were his words, and how he hated people looking over his shoulder (his words “it sucked”). After 3 questions I bid him good luck and we’d let him know...

And these goobers wonder why they cannot get a real job outside the gaming/start-up industry? They have no respect for battle-tested processes that make money. Honestly I am getting sick and tired of these entitled pansies... and they blame the boomers for their woes. I have not seen one “kid” under 28 or so that can code for sh_t. Outside iPhone apps, games, and social media BS stuff they have no concept of business software. They think that we will give them a one page document and check on them once a month while throwing money at them.

Been here a while. I doubt that there are many eco-tourism or cultural history majors working in their field in the U.S. All this means is that Sweden is catching up to us: get a useless degree then you get the kind of job you deserve. Or no job at all.

She should have majored in Womyn’s Studies.

Nobody owes these idiots a job.

If you can't find a frikken job...create one (i.e. make a product, perform a needed service, buy and resell something needed in a unique location...just get up off your lazy @ss and do something).

Modern humans are just so darned pathetic!
