[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get over it OP. Today is so much harder to make it. From 2006=12-- only 50% of college grads have full-time employment. It really matters where people go today so that they can even get a job. You probably graduated 20 or 30 years ago when people could go to a crummy state school (like my husband and I did) and get a great job afterward. We're happy our kid had a chance to go to an Ivy and yes, she has a job offer -- than God. Don't be so glib. What you did yesterday Rip Van Winkle...has no bearing today. The world is not all about you and times have changed. Get with the times.[/quote]

Maybe they are choosing to major in the wrong subjects .  There was a discussion on these boards some time bsck on the most employable majors being under-subscribed, and I sat in a meeting today with a major U.S. IT company that says it cannot find enough qualified engineers and programmers among U.S. graduates - esp. among Gen Y.  Therefore, they are forced to look overseas for the needed expertise.
