Worse comes to worse, there are a lot of jobs where you can bust your ass for about $10 an hour without benefits and end up struggling at the end up every month despite working double shifts.

I hope none of you found this "no shit, sherlock" or condescending to a group of college-educated (and beyond) people who consider themselves hardworking and nonidiotic. The minion als463 wanted me to post advice that all of you know already.
Well, posting advice is much better than going around and telling people that their accomplishments mean nothing because they were hired after graduating from college, when people are upset they can't get jobs.

As far as calling me a minion, I could say the same about you and some of your "followers" as well. It seems that, lately, if I say something that upsets some of you and your "friends" you all "follow" each other and start name-calling or harassing because someone has a different opinion. It is like the pot calling the kettle black, in this situation. Don't try and use words like that to talk down to me. I'm very intelligent and I don't need some random person, who doesn't personally know me, try to act like they are above me. I've talked about what I've done in life, as a means of showing that there are options out there, yet you refuse to discuss what kind of careers you have had. Then, you proceed to talk to me like I'm a moron.
