Why can't I get a job? Recent Grad, 3.7 GPA, Good Exp, Year and a half of searching..
I suppose that an endemic surveillance society, high taxes, and ugly women could apply to the UK as well, possibly even more so than the US. Did you know that in London there is at least one CCTV camera for every 14 people? Astonishing. -

It's hard to trust a commission that's headed by Henry Kissinger. -

Glenn Beck on 9/11 Victims
I'm not a huge Beck fan by any means, but he's right. If the families of some of these victims had any balls, they'd start asking the government some tougher questions in regard to what actually happened that day. Instead, they're happy with the free checks. -

In regards to electrical engineering, check out the BLS: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm Scroll down to electrical engineers. Five percent projected job growth from 2006-2016. That's about 1500 new jobs per year. 1500 jobs ain't shit. How many people are graduating each year with... -

What are some of these "advantages"? The younger generation has access to technology that the boomers didn't have. Honestly, that's the only advantage that I can think of. There are very few professions that allow the current generation to earn a comfortable wage without an advanced degree... -

A BA in Economics at any tier 1 school, which Stony Brook is, will include the math courses you mentioned as part of their curriculum. There's even more math/econometrics courses if you choose the quant option. It may confuse some hiring managers because they look at the degree and see... -

The "high demand for engineers" is bullshit spouted by upper management of major companies who want to increase the supply of labor in order to decrease wages. Electrical and mechanical engineers are some of the easiest professions to outsource. The only engineering fields that are truly in... -

VandeMeer predicts monetary collapse of US starting Sept 30th:"Dismantle Wall Street"
100% correct. You and BLSH seem to be the only ones here who "get it". It's a brave new world. I'm not expecting a Mad Max style apocalypse anytime soon, but this will be a very slow and drawn out destruction of the middle class. The demand for labor that created the middle class simply... -

H&R Block looks horrible on a resume if you want to be an accountant. If you applied to one of the Big 4 with H&R Block listed on your CV, they'll tear it up and throw it in the trash. It may have worked 10 years ago when they were hiring people left and right, but not anymore. -

Atheists...got a fresh topic for ya!
What makes you think intelligent life on other planets would be humanoid? Is this a trick question? Intelligent life could very well be giant insect like creatures or The Blob. -

You Lie!!!!
LOL They don't want to pay for it because they can't afford to. I'm a 25 year old grad student, and I have no health insurance. I pay for my dentist out of my own pocket. Haven't been to the doctor for a checkup in years. I've worn the same eyeglasses since I was 16. All of that is fine... -

Doubt it. More than likely, they were small business owners or real estate investors. Traditional small business owners or even real estate investors (land lords) will have an easier time turning a profit than a trader ever will. As a trader, you're up against some of the brightest minds on... -

I believe there are, but you need to start at the bottom and be willing to do the crap work. If you don't want to go back to school, you should try to get into retail with a large company even if it's part time. Maybe you can go work at a bank as a teller. Perhaps one day you'll be the bank manager. -

U.S. Headed For Economic Disaster
Bingo. Most people have always sucked at math and science. Nothing new here. However, a college degree was never a minimum requirement in the past. Indian professors, who can't put together a coherent sentence in English, are teaching grad students in American universities. That's why... -

An engineer won't make more than a pharmacist over a lifetime. Yes, his starting salary will be high, but he'll hit a glass ceiling at $80-90k. He will have to take on more debt as he would likely need another 2-3 years of school to pick up a second bachelors degree. Problem is, he won't qualify... -

You don't need work experience to take the exams. You need work experience to actually become a CFA. You can still list the exams that you passed on your resume. After you pass all three, which will take a few years, you have seven years to get the work experience. I don't agree that you need...
