    As a corollary, go to college for something commercially viable. If your degree is in medieval Estonian poetry, you are going to have a hard time getting a job with that that pays off the debt. Recent history aside, there were very few people who went into things like electrical engineering or medical science that could not find employment.

      That is so out of touch that I feel like I am having a stroke.

      There is a lot of qualified people with “commercially viable” degrees that can’t find a job, or the job they find pay like shit.

      Companies want over qualified people for shit pay, and they want you to go through 5 interviews because that’s what the cool companies do, and get offended when their ridiculous offer gets rightly rejected.

      Man this would be great advice if I could just stop taking part in recent history
