awwww, the poor little college grad

[SmarterthanYou]

college grad would rather stay unemployed, turning down 40k a year job

Over the last five months, only one job materialized. After several interviews, the Hanover Insurance Group in nearby Worcester offered to hire him as an associate claims adjuster, at $40,000 a year. But even before the formal offer, Mr. Nicholson had decided not to take the job.

Rather than waste early years in dead-end work, he reasoned, he would hold out for a corporate position that would draw on his college training and put him, as he sees it, on the bottom rungs of a career ladder.

what a fucking waste of space he's become.

I saw that, and used in on the other message board to mock republitools crying about the economy. Only a rich kid turns down 40K as being beneth him. This faggot whines about his parents maybe not funding his European vacation.

It just shows a solid example that education doesn't always create intelligent people.

I don't know about that. He seems to have it A-OK with his parents footing the bill for his existence. I think it goes to show that providing for every need of your adult children is not necessarily good parenting.

I'm sure that means that their college education didn't help them much either.

Education is great for creating intelligence. Stupid, however, is for life.

Yes, when stupid and education meet, stupid always wins. Ignorance can be fixed by education, stupid however is bone deep and irreplaceable.

[Topspin]

he may be very intelligent, just very spoiled. He prob thinks he deserves a mid managers job that would put him in the hamptons. It's all his dad's fault by the way, for raising a gaylord.

Yes, you neocon libertarian tools keep blaming the victims of globalization, like the fascist little bots you've become. There's no jobs problem, there's a sissy problem.

You are the new anti-americans.

He's a victim of his own decision, not of globalization. At least not individually. I understand that the job market itself is a result of globalization and outsourcing, but being offered a reasonably well-paying job just after college doesn't make him a "victim" of that. Others are, but this guy is just a victim of making poor choices.

And globalization. And he may be right in holding out to stay on the career path of his choice. You libertarians get an ounce of security and then all the sudden its kicking down ladders and destroying dreams and justifying overseas slave labor. You're the worst kind of enemies because you wave the flag most proudly.

Where do you get neocon libertarian? Libertarians hate neocons.

No they don't. That gay marriage thing is a dog and pony show to distract from the real issue of our time: The idiocy and destructiveness of globalization zealotry.

The real fissure in our nation is between the elites and the populists. just like always.

The other issues are more important than the ongoing struggle between the educated and the ignorant.

Being hostile to fellow americans isn't being educated, it's just being a fascist sellout to entrenched power.
