Since homegrown Americans suck at hard sciences and such...most kids will be experiencing the joy of underemployment...and it will only get worse and worse as statists and NeoKeynesians keep pushing all-in!

Common sense doesn't come in degrees.

And then there's this sexist comment.


Quote
    What causes workers to feel underemployed? Most survey respondents cited poor pay as a leading factor. PayScale also notes that "nine of the 10 most underemployed majors are female-dominated," making underemployment a factor in the gender wage gap. Conversely, many of the least underemployed majors are dominated by men, according to a 2013 Georgetown survey.

I'm not going there. It's not worth the effort.

I'm shocked and disappointed that you didn't immediately dig right into that Alan.

Alan turned poultry.    ;D

And I like the term in Pan's "Victoria" thread - "credentialing" and too many latter day American's can't even do that right!

credentialing - sounds like something you'd do with steel wool and a soup ladle.

...the former is just a lot more expensive and a lot less useful than the latter...

Check out this example...no doubt blew six figures of rich daddy greenbacks to go to a prestigious university where it majored in Wymens Studies by day and being a useless whining airhead by night...
