<p>pandem, several posters in this thread suggested this. good idea, but does take a certain chutzpah, believing that something not true WILL eventually come true, salesmanship, and an ability to travel light for the inevitable lean start up time. It takes, in other words, a Harold Hill+ kind of person.</p>
<p>And if you have tons of loans, one might be forced to do the fry cook route. there are fry cook jobs out there, arent there? </p>
<p>Miakaa, have your tried the low paying fast food jobs?</p>
<p>I suspect work experience and leaving a good impression is extremely important when finding jobs, and that can easily make up going to a “worse” school or picking a “worse” major.</p>
<p>the OP is right. I know people who have graduated from Carleton and St. Olaf. One is unemployed, the other is working as a temp at Wells Fargo. Both of these are upper level LAC’s with solid reps. Most grads are gullible and assume they will have no probem finding a job. That going 50,000 in debt for some worthless degree is worth it. Not true anymore, not true by a longshot. The college idea has just been pounded into peoples heads the past 30 years and nobody even questions it anymore. Not to mention that most campuses have been taken over by far left radicals who only grade kindly if you agree with them. </p>
<p>This is an old thread revived (perhaps by mistake, note the dates) but if you’re out there Sledfish, how are things going? Hoping the New Year has been a good one so far.</p>
