My vote goes to “college.” How many college grads have their bachelors degree in hand and can’t get any job that requires the mental capacity greater than that of a monkey? A bet a whole crapload. I thought a BS in a business concentration (finance) would be one of the most marketable degrees.
Yeah I’m bitter. I’m thinking of how else I’m going to support myself and not go mentally insane as I work in a warehouse picking up boxes.
Hey at least you still have a job. I am about to be laid off, furloughed or at best rifted into a different department if I am lucky. Damn I really should have studied harder in college.

I thought that the whole population of Earth can fit easily in Texas and the only reason there are food scarcities is that corporations want to create artificial shortages to drive up demand and increase their profits.
I hate when you tell someone what you are taking in college and then they say “Ya there’s a high demand for that!”…Ya in the middle of no where and you have to move ~a day away from where you live now to get there.

Then why are you studying it?
I ask because I assume you’re talking about mining and/or metallurgy, and you must have known there were no mines in Van when you started.

ahhhh, Finance WAS a great degree to have up until about 12-15 months ago. My buddy was making 6 figures 24 months out of college. Now he and like 3 other people are the only ones left.
And I thank my lucky starts every day I went to school.
Give it awhile and demand will go back up rapidly in that field. Maybe get your MBA while you wait?

I thought about it, but I don’t have any finance related work experience, so having an MBA wouldn’t help much. Plus most programs require you to have professional work experience.
