People with college degrees need to wake up and realize that the market for college was created by baby boomers and influenced by bank investors.
Now that the economy has collapsed, you need to look back at the Great Depression and learn some knowledge about what your grandparents or great grandparents did during that time period.
Only 10% of the population had college degrees during the Great Depression.

Those jobs have been sent over seas, or replaced by robots. That's why this thread was created.
Post-bachelor degree: sweat shop; later on, sweat shop + donut shop. (both during grad school which took almost 3 yrs to complete) I was in my low 20's, not living at home.

Except most positions STILL require a college degree.
Go to a website of any major company and check out job requirements. It's always a college degree PLUS relevant work experience.
Unless you want to work in a trade, then I still recommend going to college BUT you HAVE to do internships during the summers and take out as few loans as possible. I got lucky and got a 100% academic scholarship, but if you can't get scholarships, then start out at a community college to save $ because it won't matter in the long run after you transfer and graduate from a 4 year school.

Most of those jobs have been replaced, Friday I met with a young couple, both right around 25 years old, they both have jobs in the oil field, and combined their taxable household wages are over $200,000 a year. They work in North Dakota, and are flown in and out of North Dakota every 2 weeks where their company puts them up in a hotel and gives them $53 a day per diem on top of the wages, both have great benefits with a 5% match on a 401k, what Obama Care considers a Cadillac insurance plan, stock options, quarterly bonuses, and both asked me if I knew of anybody looking for work as their company was putting together another recruitment package to bring in people across the country as they cannot get enough help. Requirements is that you have to catch the plane and show up at work daily, no high school diploma, credit can be terrible, no previous experience, you can even have a criminal record as long as you can now pass a drug test now and have no felony history of violence.
By the way both had the opportunity to work in Northern Colorado and turned it down, they make the extra money on the per diem that they would lose out on by staying home, and that is the money they use to invest in real estate.
Unfortunately many people will refuse the work, you see it is difficult back breaking work out in the elements, with no work life balance while you are up there, and you are working for those evil oil companies.
If this were the late 80s and 90s, that couple would have been jobless if oil was the only skill they had. It's a boom-bust sector with opportunities only as good as commodity prices go.

Post what company this is, or similar others, I can fill up those positions inside a week.
I seriously doubt they are having that much trouble, there are people moving to other states just for a loss prevention job at Walmart. Heck, I know people who have moved out of the country for low wage teach English jobs because they could not find anything here.
