[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I work very hard, are well educated with graduate degrees and have been blown to smithereens by this recession.  DH was un/underemployed for two years.  I work for a non-profit, and so no, I'm not making big law dollars.  But I work damn hard and put in long hours.  So is our current hardship situation our fault?  I don't think so.  Were we irresponsible with our money.  NO.  So I really don't want to hear from the meritocracy that hasn't yet been hit by the recession about how they deserve to be millionaires because they just work so darn hard.

Let's face it, the middle class is getting screwed left, right, and center.  [/quote]

Sorry for your predicament. But lets face it, you had a choice. When you were at your good school you chose to go the nonprofit route and you must have KNOWN that that was the path to riches. It comes with the territory. Don't blame someone who chose a safe profession and went for the money. [/quote]
And here's where social capital comes into play.  If you need to plan for your future earning power at the age of 18, you really need some advice to help you get there.  Some people from poor backgrounds have the moxie to seek out good mentors and only listen to them.  But most people will listen to their parents for advice--and even if their parents have it together and are sane & loving, if they're living on the edge of poverty they're unlikely to know which major is the best for future earnings.
