While your insults are not directed at me, they still are a TOS violation. Please keep your posts civil. You have called a poster a "dipstick" several posts back.
are you a moderator? On my end I do not see your name in bold.
As far as what I have said, I have seen far worse on these forums. LOL
What a horrible and elitist thing to say, to devalue someones education in that manner is uncalled for, she has a degree and should have an opportunity to obtain a job in her field as anyone else.
Go look at the pdf file of the lawsuit on CNN. Her degree is NOT in I/T, it's in business administration. The majority of business adminstration grads ARE starting at entry level positions such as receptionists. Many are working at Target riniging a register--exactly the job she is quoted as feeling like she is too good for. it's not "elitisit," it's reality.
Your first article says IT outsourcing will be mainly in RIM, which is basic maintenance, not exactly highly skilled positions, and your second article states the IT jobs being outsourced are in areas of "Help Desks, IT Infrastructure, IT Security and PC Management", none of which are very high-skilled IT jobs.
So please go on, you have yet to post a link that is relevant to your
point!
I am not doing your research for you, I have done it in the past.
no where in this suit was it claimed skilled v. highly skilled....
and if this were an issue chances are someone got a degree for these jobs. that is something you posters have brought up. And it isn't even a point in this entire thread. But for some reason instead of sticking to the point of this suit to begin with some of you decide to degrade and call them unskilled should there position be helpdesk. What a sad state of society.
This is about principle. Bottom line....
What a horrible and elitist thing to say, to devalue someones education in that manner is uncalled for, she has a degree and should have an opportunity to obtain a job in her field as anyone else.
What should be done then? Force Google, Microsoft and Yahoo to hire her as a software engineer even if she can't do the job? Or force a bank or telco to hire her as a data miner even if her math skills are not enough?
Nothing can be done for her, at least not in the way she wants.

Where is the quote where she says she is to good to work at Target or ring a register?
I haven't ignored a question, I haven't run from a challenge.
I haven't ignored the question as to what did she pay for that she didn't get. I have answered it over and over....go back and read with comprehension.
And stop begging me to PM you, I am not interested. I am not blowing smoke the job market sucks right now and when 1000 people are vying for 10 positions that doesn't hold water. So move on, you will not win with me.
You greatly misunderstand the job of a career service department. You keep resorting to personal insults, which says much more about you than anything else.
I also know you are not interested. You are someone with no personal experience with IT, and yet you continue to argue points about it. It is difficult for me to take you seriously. You are talking to someone who works in the field every day, who reads three trade magazines on a monthly basis and yet you, someone with only secondhand knowledge are convinced you are right? This depresses me.
So go ahead, claim my reading comprehension is poor yet again. It seems that is your answer to everything in this thread.

It is sad that you find that a Business Administration graduate should have to do the job of a high school graduate and at the same time take a job away from a low skilled worker. But I understand your mentality as you live in Orlando Florida a city plagued by highly educated workers stuck in low wage jobs.
She doesn't have an I/T degree! She has a business administration degree. She needs to do with it what most people with that degree from a 3rd rate college do, get a job as a receptionist.
you are incorrect....
her degree is in fact in information technology. Per the degree that is viewable on CNN. And it appears as though the degree is from the college.
Business Admin in IT...
