<p>“Telling recent college graduates that they are underemployed may confuse them into believing that they should look to anyone but themselves for success.”</p>
<p>I still don’t really understand why people say this when we have 8% unemployment and 18% underemployment. </p>
<p>The thing I don’t really like about this article is that all underemployed (that is unemployed and part-time workers who want to work full-time) graduates are that way because of a particular mindset. If you’re having difficulty making ends meet and paying off student loans with the best/only job you got after graduation, you don’t have an entitlement problem. You’re just struggling to make ends meet. Finding a better job can be difficult when so many companies have complete hiring freezes.</p>
