What's your educational attainment level?

This thread concept would have been so much better in TLR.

No. I'm talking about people who have a bachelor's degree and can't find a decent job. They end up settling for a dead end job.

I read about someone who had a master's in public administration and is only an office manager. You figure with a master's degree you would be the head of a department or something.

Are you making me spoon feed you on purpose?

nah you dont have to spoon feed me, i understand perfectly, that is why i said thanks for the anecdotes

Either the posters with 4-year and graduate degrees don't post nearly as much as those without, or schools are just giving out degrees regardless of intelligence. Or, of course, . I should have my BA in Economics in a little less than 2 weeks. Gonna see if I can get any statistical/financial/data analyst positions. If not, I'll weigh my options, I might go for an MBA or just an MA, if I can get into a reputable program. I don't think I give a shyt about law school.

MBA is useless without job experience. I hope you're up on linkedin

I admittedly am clueless as to many of my potential options going forward. All I'm concerned with now is making sure I keep improving my financial modeling/econometrics skills. I might find out that I don't want to be a financial analyst, but as of now I just need to keep building my skills up. Gotta have something to show.

Political view: No party affiliation. I go with whatever I think would best benefit this nation, or what is the best idea, IMO.

I don't feel for them. I find a lot of those guys after graduation work retail or in the service industry @ jobs that require only a high school diploma AND years of work experience.

For instance, at Marshall's a college graduate could be hired as a store lead, but someone who worked at Marshall's for 3 or 4 years can get the same position. I feel those are the people who says school was a waste of time. They really thought they was going to get a vice president position when they graduated.

I agree, but I also think a lot of it is simply the recession.

People who graduated in the midst of it (2007-2011) will lag behind other college grads in terms of income for decades. Even people who graduated after them are better off because when employers start hiring again they'll usually recruit new grads. So I can see how somebody that got screwed over by graduating at a bad time would be cynical about the value of a degree.

Technically right now it's only high school

I'm aiming for an economics course at Monash university (ranked in the top 1% of universities in the world, 24th overall for economics and econometrics).

Backup would be business/ commerce or political science

I already hear the "broke ass career students" jokes from my younger cousins when it comes to talking about a number of older cousins who it seems have been in school since the late 90's . It's really hard to argue with a 20 yr old kid about becoming a MTA bus driver when you see several uncles who own houses doing that and really living that middle class lifestyle in their late 50's while your big cousin who graduated from Albany in sociology is 36 and still living in aunties house
