Before I got a degree I got every job I ever applied for. I've been employed much of the time since then, but when I wasn't I heard I was overqualified, deserving of more than they could afford to pay and just about every other reason not to hire someone since.
One company I worked at told me I wouldn't have gotten my foot in the door without the degree, but it seems like every other company would have preferred me to be uneducated.
Yea, I heard Beck say that and I thought, what a jerk. Morally, I couldn’t do what he does, sell gold as an investment. That’s a total and complete rip off. As if the economy goes to ground and I’ll just go down to Publix with my gold certificate or my gold bar, chip off a little for some bread. He risks discredits much of what he says because the more people believe him that we are heading to Armageddon, the more gold he sells…how nice. We are heading for a mess but that will lead us to a more barter type system with fed/state revenuers getting in our business. That’s what long term unemployment is doing. For example, a small business guy needs some help, a friend or relative who is collecting unemployment will work under the table for 6 – 10 dollars/hr. Win-win till we get in and straighten things out. Please don’t leave our wounded and dead on the battle field.
