Jobless College Graduates Struggle Under Ongoing Recession

Public policy is the set of laws or policies that run a society. Each set of laws or polices is organized around ideals, morals, and norms leaders in the society want to uphold in their government.

Ok this was her problem.How many opportunities will you find in this career field? This sound like something that it would take years to get into.She would probably have to be someone's assistant before she get's the position she wants.That is not an open field with a high growth rate.Notice none of the examples had people in the IT,Electrician or Architect field.When you work with some type of equipment or tools you will be able to find a job faster.

Honestly none, and of course when working with equipment and tools you will get the job faster as you said. Most people choose majors where their is no growth rate that suits that field of interest and eventually becomes useless. As well, some don't benefit internships to build up their network and put themselves on the map. She herself been out of college for 5 years with that degree and so.

Dem hoes in Target thick as fuck though..in those tight ass khaki pants.


Excuse the freepost t/s

respect.

LMAO c/s......shit is real out here.....

 

[MsTADOWW]

Another reason *you know, after the altruistic ones* why I am def going to medical school.

 

[Hustlers Ambition$]

No disrespect to anyone with that degree.....but come on....what kind of BS is that??

Maybe if these people would stop getting BS degrees and actually go in a field thats viable.....they wouldn't be complaining about getting a job so slowly....public policy lol

In my business school I see accounting and finance guys get jobs without a problem

Down the road in the engineering school I don't see people having a problem

I don't see people in the medical field having this problem

Im not saying people will line up from miles away to hire you with these degrees....but you can damn sure get a decent job.

But oh no....I want to graduate in "public policy, or literature, or history or some BS

More power to you but ALOT of networking than usual is in your future.

 

[jman252]

Co sign with Hustler on this one. Someone needs to drop some jewels on incoming freshmen so that they won't end up with six figures of student loan debt and end up majoring in something that is useless that may or may not land them with the job in their field of choice.

 

[King Erauno]

lol niggas do be gettin bullshit degrees.

IT...FTW. i graduated in 07...already had experience too..had a job before i graduated. But now looking to relocate..and its been tough getting a callback about a job....its tough

 

[blackrain]

Nowadays you need a degree and work experience. The college I attend requires its students to do 3 summer internships to graduate. Plus the alumni will help you out if you get in good with them. Career services also helps.

...

These dumb kids just get a degree and think they're good. No nigga you need some work experience in your field nowadays. Stop going on vacation ever summer, and get an internship at a company you would like to work at.

this here...alot of people just think saying "Hey I have a degree" is enough...then some people feel like if you go to school somehow you can't work still...you can gain plenty contacts through alumni networks, internships, etc. while in school....also people need to accept that your career may end up being in a different field than your degree...I know people who spend 2-3 years searching ONLY in their certain field, then soon as they expanded their search outside their field got a job within months

you ever think some people just simply don't want to, have no interest, or just plain aren't good at engineering, business, etc...there's plenty of ways to network and get jobs with what alot of people label "Bullshit degrees"....saying more people need to become engineers etc is just going to flood that market and make it just like the rest of the job market...overcrowded...

 

[truth spitter]

Please explain this^. What exactly are you going to do abroad? are you aware that the recession is global? how do you intend to pay for the trip/cover the expenses of living abroad?

It can actually be cheaper living overseas than here. I'm working for the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

It's funny when I hear stories about students leaving school with tons of debt and then thy can't find a job. I will not say that the degrees that people get are bullshit, but what job do you expect to get with a history degree? The only thing you can do is teach history, or maybe work at a museum.

The college game is really messud up now. I majored in marketing and found a pretty decent job within 4 months of graduation. In the area I live in they are doing natural gas drilling. They are hiring a lot of people and on top of that they pay anywhere between 16-25 an hour entry level. I went through 4 years in college and these gas dudes don't have any schooling, but they are out here caking lmao. That shit fucks with a niggas emotions yo... They are working 60 hour weeks and bringing home between $3,000 - $4,500 bi weekly. i'm aboout to quit my position and work with them ,stack my paper, then head to law school.

Where are you at?

 

[stephen a. smith inq]

Where are you at?

You probably never heard of it, but it's Williamsport Pennsylvania. About 1 1/2 hours outside of Harrisburg and 3 hours from Philly.

 

[tru_m.a.c]

My fraternity brother worked at Subway, McDonald's, and a movie theater before being able to find a job with a double degree in biology and chemistry.He cakin' now, but dude was in the dumps for a while. i could tell he was depressed.

Pass organic chemistry and flippin' burgers, b? That shit'll fuck a nigga ego up.

wtf...that's unheard of...how the fuck couldn't he find a job

 

[tru_m.a.c]

you ever think some people just simply don't want to, have no interest, or just plain aren't good at engineering, business, etc...

but at some point, don't I as a major of a hiring field have to say "tough noogies"

For example, the freshman that are starting school right now(in august/september), have no right to bitch in 4 yrs about not finding a job. You know what fields are hiring/aren't. Don't come out with a comm degree complaining to the huff post about finding work. Sorry, tough noogies.

 

[ImSoReal]

I have some friends going through this now, I was able to get a good job 2 months after graduating

Didnt they shut down alot of those fracking operations. Or was that New York state?

Same thing was required for my degree. You actually only needed 1 internship but you couldn't graduate without it. And the bolded is absolutely true...I hate muhfuckas that think its a God Given right to go on vacation/have a spring break. Work muhfucka!

You have to be smart about your major. Look at trends in tech, health and recreation, and talk to folk in those fields as to what is coming next. Try to position yourself so you can ride the wave. Don't try fighting the current unless you are strong and dedicated to your path, it will test you and most folk aint built to start a niche. The engineering wave is still going strong, but it wont forever, neither will IT. I think everyone should minor in business/marketing/advertising/communications because those are skills that will always be relevant to your line of work. You should also pick up a second language. Americans look lame as hell only speaking one language and think thats good enough in a global marketplace.

Overseas isnt a bad look either, American universities and educations are still held in high regard, and there are a quite a few opportunities to teach, consult, or apprentice overseas and come back looking pretty nice. I wouldnt turn down the opportunity if it presented itself.

Didnt they shut down alot of those fracking operations. Or was that New York state?

"Governor Cuomo has pledged not to allow this practice until it has been proven safe, and we're confident that he'll uphold his promise," said Claire Sandberg, the executive director of the New York-based group Frack Action. "Given all we know about the inherent dangers of fracking — compounded by the new revelations that this industry is in fact just a giant Ponzi scheme that may well bankrupt the state — we expect that Governor Cuomo will not move forward under current circumstances."
