| cafisher | Posted – 1/22/2008 4:13:26 PM | show profile | email poster Why is there a slump? Am I going to have to go back to working in a coffee shop and living off of soup to get by? Can someone make a time-travel machine and send me back 4.5 years ago so I could have gotten an accounting or paralegal degree? Question: if I don't put down that I have a college degree on a Borders application, are they more likely to hire me? Because they seem to be more inclined to hiring employees who don't know what the New Yorker is. |

If you don't end up finding something -- and I'm betting you will -- go back to school for something you can find more gainful employment with. There are people on here, who if they were only 4 years out, would go back to school. Just a thought! |
