Tom Delay: People Are Unemployed Because They Want To Be

Excellent, excellent point.

And THIS, m'friends is where the disconnect is. When colleges went from being institutions of higher learning where you learned a field of study for personal enrichment to being white collar trade schools under the guise of such (with colleges turning into big money businesses), then the market was obviously going to get saturated with a lot of educated but unskilled or limited-skilled individuals, leaving some people to be simply without a career-oriented job, hence at least part of the problem we're having today.

Both of you, Shut.Up. There are people on here who have stated they have degrees in business, social work, some type of health related field, etc. KAPital, you should probably be hustling instead of being on GC.

So? With all that education, you should be able to find a skill to market yourself with, and also know how to market yourself effectively. Sounds to me like I hit a nerve and you can't handle it.

Believe it or not, I actually am doing it while online; I'm just on lunch break for the moment.
