fashion merchandising? Is that degree for working at the gap or something equally stupid?

If it's your cup of tea, merchandising is a pretty good career, but it's a cut-throat industry. The article doesn't say, but if she assumed she could make a good living as a fashion merchandising expert in Denver, she's sorely mistaken; you'd have to be willing to relocate to a place like New York City.

Hey that is my wife’s major.

Other than for kicking around in a lousy JCPenneys sales job for a few years, she has never used the degree. We got married when she was a Junior, and I begged her to get teaching certification. She didn’t. I still wish that she had. Even a substitute teaching job would help alot. She already volunteers at the middle school when they do clothing. She could just as easily get paid.
