you two are a hoot! And annerk is a stalker to boot....
Yes it was dated over a year ago, I am very well employed thank you. And my credibility is just fine. I don't look to the internet for credibility or a life such as the likes of yourselves.
I'm a stalker because I took a minute to look at some of your previous posts? Talk about a "hoot"!
I guess I'd rather be labeled a stalker than a bitter liar who is angry at the world.
Stalking will get your ass in trouble. You just remember that. One thing you best remember is you never know who is sitting on the opposite end of a computer screen.
I don't lie have no need too and not angry at all.
Get a life, if you have so much as you claim to you wouldn't be stalking people on the internet, which is exactly what you are doing.
You obviously have zero idea what the legal definition of stalking is.
It's not stalking when one is simply reading things people post in public places for people to read. Remember that. Don't try to scare me with your idle threats. That right along with your bitterness completely erode any shred of credibility you might otherwise have.

Chromekitty, not only are you warped, but I think you're quite young and not the brightest bulb on the tree. Get a grip. Wow! Someone needs a reality check and that would be YOU! Also, learn the proper use of commas, if you expect to be employable. No wonder you and yours expect others to do it for you! And it is to, not too. Go back to English 101.
Well call me a fool but I actually just took the time to read the bulk of this thread. For the most part, I agree with everybody and see both sides.
1. I have been researching IT careers for a while now. Here is my gist. The industry is necessary and is here to stay. It does have jobs. There are a lot of big, serious downsides to working in IT. Outsourcing is indeed a very, very serious problem for IT workers in the USA. Probably not so bad that everyone should strike IT off their prospective careers list forever.
HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS FOR THE NAYSAYERS, Annerk, Stan4, hnrbq et. al.:
1. Higher ed institutions in the US exist to make money and support their own bureaucracies, for the most part. It's a racket which has a corollary function of (barely) educating some people. WHEN ARE THESE CORRUPT, GREEDY, SELF-SERVING OVER-PROMISING & UNDER-DELIVERING HIGHER ED INSTITUTIONS GOING TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT BY OUR GOV'T AND ELECTED REPS??
2. If college is a joke and a sham for everybody except those in Ivy League schools, it costs $100,000 but doesn't guarantee a decent job or anything else...WHY BOTHER?? What is your solution for people getting ahead in life? Work 40 hrs/wk at Target and another 40 at McD's?? Please, Mister and Misses Personal Responsibility, what is your solution?
P.S. Please don't retort by saying, "I never said college was a joke or sham." YES YOU DID. You just said it in so many other words. $100,000 in tuition but it doesn't really guarantee anything and don't expect much, blah blah. Well that's a joke. If a college education is so worthless, as you seem to claim, why doesn't it cost a fair price of maybe $2 then instead?? Furthermore, why even bother going??

Well first of all, it is a good thing what you think doesn't matter.
But...the thing is when people such as yourself have nothing of value to offer nor have a valid point then you go to attacking. It's expected though, it is truly all that people such as yourself are capable of.
Glad you dictated yourself as the grammar and spelling police, just on this thread alone with posters other than myself you will be kept quite busy.
hmmm, what is the joke? How do you keep an idiot busy??? LOL!!

It's what Trina majored in that's worthless, the BS IT degree. This is easy to figure out. Check the curriculum Monroe posted on its website:
Courses like VB and Oracle database, you can pick off yourself in Barnes & Noble.
It is what it is. If she studied a REAL computer science or computer engineering major (and gotten adequate grades), she wouldn't have had this problem. So the truth is there won't be a solution for her except to settle for a low-end job like retail. That's what happens to people who don't have the right skills.
