(32,324 posts)A decent job. but then we let our elite ship even the research lab positions overseas.
And I have never understood the concept of how X amount of classes means that you know more than, and are more qualified than someone else. For instance, my son left all his easy classes for his last year of college. At a job where he was interning, they suggested that he think about applying for several open positions. Then they found out he was still X classes short of his degree, and told him they couldn't employ him till he had the degree.
But does someone really need "Understanding Japanese haiku" to handle a position in computer tech work? This whole thing makes no sense to me. In his case, the government was paying his tuition anyway, so although totally bored out of his mind by school at that point, it wasn't a big deal. But for someone else, the $ 16,000 a year tuition might have been prohibitive.
