- I guess you are lucky and live in a cocoon. The jobs
- available for college graduates is very small. It used to be
- that graduating from college would be a ticket for getting
- a good job. No more. Even having a job doesnt help -- try
- telling it to the soon to be unemployed 15,000 DEC employees
- when they go around trying to find new jobs.
-
- Because the job market is so scarce there is a huge, huge
- increase in the number of people applying to graduate school.
- When they get their graduate degrees, where are the jobs then?
-
- DOnt be so smug, and remember "there but for the grace of God, goes me"
