[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Americans have always been privileged. I am from Africa and the unemployment rate for college grad has to be around 80%, I don't even think we have an official statistics. I graduated with double bachelor's degree in math and physics and I couldn't find even a teaching job..I went into a deep depression because I felt I did everything right graduated fifth in my class and nothing to show for. Then miraculously I won the green card lottery. It took only 3 months for me to find a job in the US. I was shocked. Now in fairness this was 3 years ago, so if it was in today's economy I probably would be struggling as well.

But I think American college graduates are starting to experience what a lot of college graduates around the world go through year after year. What worries me most is that there is such a high expectation in this country that if you go to college, get a degree, then a job will be ready for you eventually. I [b]think we may have to reset expectatio[/b]ns.[/quote]

If we do that, it means we are expecting that we are no longer exceptional.[/quote]
