Quote from 335ifurby:

i care why? these kids who graduate these days take their parents to the job interview... have you ever seen that... I HAVE.... the kids of today and they are kids are and have always been coddled from day one. they know nothing about the real world and have no respect for their bosses and think that just because they have a ******* degree from a second tier school that they are entitled to some sort of a bonus for performing a mediocre job... because the way these (kids) were raised was that 2nd place still got a trophy bigger than 1st place ... well in my book 2nd place = the 1st place loser.... and before you (kids) start to send angry comments to me just know that i just graduated as well however am sickened by the riff raff that i have to work with for the foreseeable future.... oh baby boomers where are you .... help us

Wow, taking parents to a job interview? That is interesting

I have two kids in college, a communications/PR major and a mech. engineering/poker major.

This is what we have read....

95% of the high paying jobs out there are engineering jobs.
4% of American born college students are engineering majors.

I'm glad our comm/PR major is a girl because she might marry an engineer.

I know guys who graduated in tech related fields after the bust in 2000, who still haven't been able to find employment in the technology sector.

The tech sector has been systemically ethnically cleansed of Americans, with the replacement employees being Indians on the H1-B and L-1 visas.

Silicon Valley used to be a bastion of American ingenuity, and white people at work creating things that make the world great (such as the Internet). Today, the vast majority of workers under the age of 35 are foreign nationals, and domestic applicants don't even have their resumes responded to, even though they are more qualified than ever.

Go into the IT department of practically any large bank these days and see the genocide in action for yourself. Its just Indians. They're only there because they're cheap and obedient. Maybe if Americans worked in those IT departments, some of these mortgage shams would have been brought to light sooner.

Oh yes...there's no IT jobs...whatever are all the poor IT majors going to do? Maybe apply to one of the hundreds and hundreds of IT jobs posted in NYC alone over the last week?

Good luck with your son in engineering school; chances are, if this economy continues on its current path, he won't be able to find a job when he gets out. Just like the EE/CS engineering grads of the past decade have discovered (nearly all of them are unemployed!).

Mostly fakes (ie: a dozen different agencies submitting to the same job), or they want many, many years of experience. Or they want to pay a salary that doesn't even make living in NYC worthwhile.

There are IT jobs...just not for Americans who actually want to earn enough to live.

I'm not a programmer, but I know many graduates who have sent out hundreds, thousands of applications, and rarely even get the time of day from anyone.

You're not a programmer anymore...right? Because you couldn't cut it in the programming world. You failed at it.

I never was and never will be a 'programmer' per se. Don't really have a lot of interest in coding to be honest with you. More of a systems/design guy.
