““I don’t even know what I’m looking for,’’ says Michael Bledsoe, who described months of fruitless job searches as he served customers at a Seattle coffeehouse.” The 23-year-old graduated in 2010 with a creative writing degree.

You just found it, Michael. It’s called hopeychangey.
They are hoping to get welfare and a free iPad..those idiots will continue to vote for Obama as long as he promises them free treats
A creative writing degree? WTF was this idiot thinking? Sadly, it seems to be the rule, rather than the exception from where I sit. I’m the corporate recruiter for a major automotive manufacturer. I get so many resumes from lunkheads with bullshyte degrees in “World Music Theory”, “Eastern Philosophy”, or my favorite - “Liberal Arts”.
Morons. I need Engineers, Technicians, Buyers, Programmers. Tangible, practical, applicable tradesmen (and women). Not these nonsense degrees that don’t amount to anything but making junior feeeeel good about himself.
It’s not “the economy’s” fault. It’s the dipwads that don’t have a clue what’s valuable to an employer.
Goes to show that being educated doesn't make someone smart or intelligent.
There are opportunities out there. Wonder how much time they’re devoting to job-seeking?

Whether or not the idiots vote for Obama depends on how good a job the GOP does in choosing their nominee. An eloquent, conservative fighter could get the job done. Odds are we're in trouble.
It would be intriguing to have the data showing how many of these poor unfortunates majored in “Pre-wed” or “Ethnic Studies 1.01” or “Uderwater Basketweaving” or some other esoteric or obscure, or in practicle terms useless major.....oe chose a meaningful major, but spent their days partying and/or demonstrating and barely squeaked by with a questionable degree.

Isn't ExxonMobil looking for a new CFO?
Who counsels these kids when they make college plans? Does earning a living not even enter into the discussions? What 'job' did the young man THINK his degree would qualify him for? The Snooki/Obama generation. God help us!
I Googled creative writing degree since I have no idea what the hell one does with it after earning one, if that what you would call it...
Seems like it is to give a person an advantage in writing a book to get published...I wonder how many well known authors have a degree in creative writing....My bet very few
Maybe a real degree in literature might be more worth while in advancing ones ability to write a book....
We’re fortunate. Our daughter is graduating in May and has received two job offers. Taking that unpaid internship over the summer and then spending her nights and weekends waiting tables definitely paid off.
Maybe these idiots should have actually done a bit of research on what jobs are actually out there instead of just imaging that their dream job will be waiting for them in a low demand field?
They took on all their own loans; we didn't take on any of that debt, so we'd be happy to help them get on their feet. They're great kids, and we enjoy being with them. They got degrees in Economics/Math, and Computer Science, so they might have a leg up on the Social Science and Liberal Arts majors, but there's no telling what's out there for them.
(and the idiots will still vote for Obama)[Failure to the Extreme](Yes, it's Obama's fault!)(LIARS! They had to know)(Welcome to Greece)(How's that "Hope and Change" thing working out?)(FOOLS!)("Going Green" still "Going Ridiculous")(Now STFU Libs!)(Obama's in full desperation mode)(Rocker warns leftists to 'call 1-800-NUMBNUT')(More Communist intimidation tactics)(Nothing Obama hasn't done)(Obama steals lines like he steals our money)(Worry not Buffett, Obama to issue a death waiver)(Prosecutor's case falling apart)(4/26/2006.

“Everyone is always telling you, `Go to college,’’’ Edwards said. “But when you graduate, it’s kind of an empty cliff.’’
WHAT?
Shoulda hada degree in mixed metaphors instead...
Keep votin' (D), to keep the cash comin'.
Hey Michael, be an original — write a novel titled “War and Peace”.
It’ll keep you busy for awhile.

Even McDonalds will be requiring a higher degree than that soon considering the path we’re on.
Most of my landscape employees have higher degrees and I’m tightening up minimum requirements again. How about 3 languages and business related degrees?
12 years of government grammer school.
+ 4 years of partially government funded college .
And at least half of these graduates can’t get a job after 16 years of training. What more proof does anyone need that government/socialism doesn’t work?
Thankfully Obama’s support among young people is waning......http://www.newsobserver.com/2012/04/24/2022445/youth-vote-still-favors-obama.html
