Unless you repped me earlier today, I got one from a 'Katiana impostor' too. That rep kind of had me scratching my head.

If I repped you earlier today, I did not say anything negative. I will follow up on this, too. Thanks for letting me know.

That was the rep you got from me? No, I didn't send that, but thanks for telling me. I'm in the process of follow-up right now.

I have been updated as to what is going on. Thanks for clearing it up.

Haha public assistence, bum-loser

"The jobless rate for college graduates has hit its highest point on record, just like the rate for people lacking high school diplomas."

At its highest peak does not mean as high as everyone else's, but it's not rosy right now. I have several unemployed neighbors with master's degrees and decades (literally) of experience. My own DH with his PhD has been laid off twice, and escaped just before the pink slip once.
You're right of course...a college degree doesn't equal automatic employment, but even during this deepening recession, according to the latest numbers from the Department of Labor: The unemployment rate for high school students, at 15.2 percent is more than twice that for college students (5.9 percent).

My husband does not have a college degree, yet he is gainfully (and thankfully securely) employed. My best friend has a master's degree and is working very hard just to keep a roof over her head. There are no guarantees in this economy...the only point of my post is not to discourage someone who is pursuing a higher education. Your chances of employment are higher, though not guaranteed.

I agree. I would never discourage anyone from going to college.

I remember a few months ago the headline in the Daily Camera was that apps at CU were up. DH said that was a sure sign of recession, then within a few days the headline was about recession. I think a lot of people go to college during a recession to "ride it out" b/c the job market is bad.
