I worked retail for 9 years. I'm pretty familiar with working at a job I detest. Did it suck? Yes. Did it add about a year to my undergrad? Yep. Did it pay the bills? Sure did. Would I do it again? No doubt. Beats the heck outta living on credit. Liking what you are doing is a luxury not everyone gets to have. Paying the bills comes before self-actualization. For most folks, if that's what they expect out of the job market, they'll be waiting a very, very long time.

And in the final analysis, what the heck difference does it make what I did, what my situation is or whether I'm a sympathetic soul? None of those weigh in on whether someone could possibly be at least partially responsible for their own plight.

RETAIL JOBS WILL NOT HIRE US BECAUSE WE HAVE COLLEGE DEGREES AND WE WILL LEAVE AT THE NEXT BEST OPPORTUNITY. WE ARE O V E R Q U A L I F I E D

You know what...you all are responsible for being too educated to get a job.
