[BigPapaVol]

I graduate in December with a degree in economics and have a job lined up at a firm in town...all through internships and previous job experience.

you'll do a better job if you quit posting here.

Clippers and Yotes fan...you have had a bad week sir

Not a fan, just a butthurt hater.

I explained this before but I guess you just ignored it. The Clippers thing was a joke but not the Coyotes

 

[Thrasher865]

I ignore most of what everybody says, pj.

Things have changed now with a specific degree being required in more fields, with the number of men and women getting degrees.

Back in the day, a specific degree was not required in most fields. The thing that helped obtain a job was the fact that someone "stuck with something". They stayed in school and got a degree. That showed they had drive and ambition. The simple fact that someone stayed in school for 16 years was a key factor in the hiring process.

I have been more than "involved". Ill sleep much better the day that someone finally shuts your hateful, bigot, senile ass up for good. You think you are the voice of the conservative American, but the rest of us conservative Americans wish you would just stfu. We are embarrased at your ignorance on most political subjects and your complete slide off the table.

You are probably suffering from a misconception resulting from your own faulty reasoning."

I'm neither bigoted or senile and I've never posted anything even half as hateful as your post I've quoted.

Neither am I ignorant nor have I ever purported to speak forn anyone other than myself.

What specifically do you do for the DoD?

I have a Marketing undergrad and now teach in a Marketing undergrad program. We are much more intern, project, practical and skills focused than we were when I was in school. We have to be. Fortunately the culture of our School is that we are there to help students get jobs and careers; not just an education.

How do you like teaching undergrad? I think as soon as I finish my masters I'm gonna keep going and get my Ed.D.

Damn, a school who gets it.

Out of College, Out of Work: Number of College Grads With Jobs Dropped 406,000 in June | CNSNews.com

There was a net decline of 406,000 in the number of Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who were working in the United States in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

A net of 309,000 in this demographic simply dropped out of the labor force, which means they neither had a job in June nor actively tried to find one, according to BLS.

The number of Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who were “unemployed”—meaning they did not have a job but did actively try to find one—increased by 96,000 in June.

According to the new seasonally adjusted numbers that BLS released on Friday, there were 46,355,000 Americans age 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher who held jobs in May. In June, that number fell to 45,949,000—a decline of 406,000.

In May, according to BLS, there had been 48,232,000 Americans with a bachelor’s degree or higher who were in the “labor force”—meaning that they either had a job or were actively seeking one. However, in June, that number fell to 47,923,000—meaning a net of 309,000 college-educated Americans age 25 or older had left the labor force in and were no longer even seeking a job.

I realize the majority of college students probably think Obama is cool and the guy to vote for but someday reality will set in and you will see that his policies are disastrous for the American economy.
