[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - major was English -- a beautiful major. The world needs more English majors.... especially from schools well known for their English & humanities departments. That should translate into many jobs in media, publishing, etc. And yes, with what we paid, no guarantees, but I would expect better assistance from the career center. The kid has worked so hard looking for a job and [b]is not willing to be underemployed[/b].

I appreciate the tecchies, but not everyone is made to do that work. The world needs some fuzzies, too. More than ever actually.

BTW - middle class burb family that has worked hard for it. [/quote]

The bolded sounds like the reason he can't find a job.
Also, Bachelor's in English? No wonder he can't find a "well-paid" job. That's basically the lowest rung on the ladder, and yes, the positions available will be the lowest. All the people living in my expensive neighborhood, OP, have graduate degrees.

I do not understand why you can't see this reality. And stop whining about how you are all hard-working. Those who work hard don't whine.
