Hopefully, with some change, hope and hard work...things will turn around for the better and everyone, no matter where they live, will be better off!<br /><br />Courtney, I know! It's totally irritating and ridiculous. It makes me wonder why people won't hire me over a more experienced employee though...they can train me however they want to fit their company's goals and pay me less! Sounds like a win-win to me!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881011231654332764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467226659190849780.post-56989403095376348892011-10-13T07:49:12.631-05:002011-10-13T07:49:12.631-05:00The sad thing is... people WANT to hire those with...The sad thing is... people WANT to hire those without college degrees. Seriously, I believe companies are looking for people who they can get away with paying the lowest wage, and who will work for them for a LONG time. It's disgusting. <br />I'm so glad to see that people are trying to take a stand, because something does need to change!Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932251648323616331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467226659190849780.post-45995265236045512772011-10-13T03:01:37.297-05:002011-10-13T03:01:37.297-05:00We are facing the same problem over in the UK.

We are all falling on hard times, but it's good to see that some people are expressing their disgust at the injustice that shines through that little bit more at times like this.Twad'dlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654809256721884639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467226659190849780.post-80196905720451483312011-10-12T21:34:51.752-05:002011-10-12T21:34:51.752-05:00It's more than absurd...it's just pure cra...It's more than absurd...it's just pure craziness! I feel like my whole life all the adults told me that to get ahead I needed a college education...and right now, I'm no better off than I would have been without it. Maybe, in the long run, it'll make a difference (hopefully). I work as a secretary (only ten hours a week...so hardly even a job) at an elementary school -- it's really not so bad, haha!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881011231654332764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467226659190849780.post-42834326501820861272011-10-12T21:23:11.123-05:002011-10-12T21:23:11.123-05:00Isn't it absurd that a college degree can'...Isn't it absurd that a college degree can't get you a job any more? I graduated in Sociology, and when I was looking for a job, there was nothing. So I got a job as a secretary, which turned out being great, but anyone older than 18 could do it. Something does need to change.<br /><br /><a href="http://spenceranderica.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">North Meets South</a>Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239325769993128532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467226659190849780.post-36336647519895986422011-10-12T11:47:57.163-05:002011-10-12T11:47:57.163-05:00I definitely agree...it's great to see that pe...I definitely agree...it's great to see that people are expressing themselves!

It's the first crack in a cement foundation which has suppressed this country for far too long.<br /><br />~SPShaneiferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803942549686024139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467226659190849780.post-77960845864367355992011-10-12T08:24:43.651-05:002011-10-12T08:24:43.651-05:00I have been reading about this online a lot & ...I have been reading about this online a lot & cannot agree more. I saw a photo on CNN of a man who held a sign that said, "grad degree from harvard, 3 postdocs, will work for food." Sums up what is happening & it's almost as if we are so deep in this hole that no one knows how to get out, no one even knows where to start. i hope this protest ignites something in the minds of those who are in control.Torriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17716420200177827259noreply@blogger.com
