Huh.
Well I think what it comes down is here is a guy that has had everything handed to him and continues to expect to have everything handed to him. 4-5 resumes a week? Come on.
And getting offered a $40K job to start.

This kid is in no position to be picky. Take what you can get, build on it any way you can, and hold on until the economy improves. Then be picky. |

$40,000 a year is a dead end job? I wish I had a dead end job like that.  |

I agree that the kid is spoiled but is $175k combined household income truly considered "upper-class" in New England? |
