[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 13459845, member: 55701"] I don't understand how we can have 30 commercials about IT being in demand and a college recruiter (or 50 at a college fair at a HS) repeating the same thing and how affordable his college is on loans, then when the kid graduates in 4 years with a 3.2 GPA working his ass off and the market has dried up so there are either no jobs or picky employers who know how saturated it is asking for 5 years of experience to hire and you think it's ok to act like he smoked pot five days a week for 4 years on a government dime in BasketWeaving Technology. It's not like these guys at Walmart can say "I really want to be a nurse", go down to the local library, read some books, and take the NCLEX. The amount of jobs out there that employers will even interview you for without having a BA that you can actually make a career in are minimal, at best - and those are over saturated. You make it sound like there are millions of awesome employers ready to offer great salaries, benefits, and career security if only people are willing to get their hands dirty and be on time. You must be living in some sort of fairy tale. The minority of these workers that I referred to earlier are not bitching or acting entitled, they are just looking for some fair treatment and a chance to stay afloat until they find something else. These guys are the people who are clean, nice, kind, and hard workers compared to everyone else when you go into Walmart - the "economy being bad" is not an excuse to deny these extra hard working employees raises, make them work different shifts week to week, and tell them they have to work through their lunch unpaid because "it's a tough economy, there are ten people waiting for your job if you don't. we intentionally keep you part time so we can lay you off at any moment and for any reason."
