Why dont you report the "relative" that you claim is scamming the system?
I prefer to let her hit rock bottom and work her way back up than to start a war within my family. And I have no idea why you would put "relative" in quotes, unless, of course, you believe I'm lying. If I'm such a liar, just ignore me and stop trolling, flaming and baiting.

I noticed some recent stats which listed those with college degree's as having more like a 5% unemployment rate, rather than the 10% enjoyed by the population as a whole?

Seems like that might mean that a degree is worth SOMETHING.

But it is still high,and it also cost $$$ to get a degree.

So you spend money to be unemployed...

Okay good.

Too many people in this country equate their worth with their job,to the detriment of their actual life.

But it is their life to live that way I guess.

I plan to be a poor farmer....have no experience,no cleared land so it should be fun...

Federal government borrows it from society. Where do you think they get it from? Did you ever hear about the national debt

If it were as easy as you say, post after post, there would be no UE problem. You have a poor opinion of your fellow human beings if you think everyone is out scamming the system, would rather sit on their duffs and collect UI than work, and worse.

5% versus 10%? Sounds like not only do the stats on lifetime income in exchange for the education come back to you, but so do the odds for staying employed in a downturn. Certainly the recent hiring I did wasn't for secretaries, bookkeepers or billing clerks.
