2. Herk you!
I am underqualified, actually, in the Berkeley, CA homeless market. There are lots of homeless there with at least one Ph.D., but most of them are homeless by choice, choosing a lifestyle of civil disobedience outside the system.

3. Dang, tough job market :(
Used to be that your parents could raise you, put you through college, and be relatively secure that you'd have a lifetime position as one of the unwashed masses. Nowadays it's just not that easy. Immigrants are pushing us Americans out of our jobs as bums by not working for lower wages and longer hours.

How can we compete with that?
