Yep over qualified. They will never hire her
She's not overqualified if it was an environmental science / global warming degree...
She would then specialize in ensuring that each and every french fry served would not have yet, gone cold during the Maunder Minimum.
My environmental geology degree gets more embarassing by the day.
But it was nice to learn that exponential growth will be the ruination of us all.
Journal of Lesbian Studies
Volume 18,
Issue 3,
2014
Special Issue: Transnational Lesbian Cultures
This article examines the music and performance of Meshell Ndegeocello,
arguing that they are part of a cross-Atlantic conversation that pushes
the boundaries of Black feminist thought on masculinity and desire. From
the time of her debut album in 1993, Ndegeocello has resisted
categorization both in her public personae and in her music.
Ndegeocello's refusal to be restricted in her stage performance and in
her musical expression has created a rich text through which to read
Black female masculinity. Her work has been particularly productive in
rethinking (Black) feminist couplings of patriarchy with male anatomy.
Ndegeocello's music challenges any one representation of female
masculinity, mixing critiques of masculine privilege and violence with
celebrations of pleasure and pansexual desire.

If she speaks Spanish and Ebonics there's a chance she'll get the job if the 328 applications ahead of her are turned down.
Ebonics is a must have in this modern globalized world. Do not go into corporate life without ebonics on your side. Skills in ebonics make YOU, a value added product for any potential employer. Indeed, your skills in ebonics can move your application to the top of the pile. Ebonics is a distinct skill for the modern corporate world. Don't leave university without it!

I agree with the cartoon. University is cool if you come out with a professional certificate. But most of the majors are utterly fucking useless. Learning for learning's sake is a dream of the rich.
Universities offer ZERO marketable skills.
You sit in lecture halls and take scantron multiple choice Yerkes-type tests where if you can memorize 70% of the information off the top of your head, you get a C.
Occasionally you'll get a professor who hates "multiple guess" and he'll assign you an essay that must be in the Schaffer method, only so he can grade it quicker.
With your bachelor's degree, you now know how to sit through boring lectures, take a Yerke's style scantron, and write Schaffer method essays. Those "skills" set you back $30,000 plus interest, plus that debt can not be defaulted on.
What employer in the real world wants you to guess off of the top of your head to get 70% of the answers correct? No one. It's stupid. It's not "cheating" to look at your notes... it's a necessity.
What employer has you type up a report in the Schaffer method? No one.
So these "skills" are not only useless, they actually waste 4 years of your working life, and set you back... for decades in student loan debt.
That girl in the comic could have been a fry girl fresh out of high school. Did that position for 6 months to a year. Get promoted to shift lead. Do that for 2 years. Then get promoted to manager, and learn business operations, deal with payroll, bookkeeping etc. etc. and she can apply for a better paying field and have that business management experience under her belt.
Whose moar likely to get hired into a management position? The college girl with zero work experience, or the fast food manager who wants to move into a higher paying industry?
9 times out of 10, the art history major with zero work experience. Until big companies stop requiring a college degree and start rewarding wor ethic, there isn't a way to buck the system.
The 4 year degree as a method of determining who is a good investment of time and training is by far the most inefficient aspect of american society. (Well, in all fairness, 13 years of public education directed at teaching only proficiency in basic skills isn't that far behnid.)

I need to rethink Ol' Yellen. I had her pegged as a tetraploid combination of Mel Brooks, a garden gnome and a random babushka.
Listen Jethro. You seem to be a low "BLOW" racist. If I ever see you make unflattering comments about "THE" Federal Reserve "CHAIRLADY" again I will immediately report you to the CIA!
Where would we be as a culture without JLS? Who says there is an academic and graduate studies bubble?
Fucking hell! I am glad that other than military training schools and a technical college for electronics and semiconductor physics, I never benefited from a liberal arts eduction! Anything along the lines of history, the arts, film, literature, foreign language, I am self taught and self read. Letting these universites get ahold of your mind is a terrible waste of good human brain matter.
Lesbians? I took a few college night classes in Foreign Language, and I saw plenty big lesbians study groups and lesbian study lounge, Black Lounge, Gay lounge, Asian study lounge, tansgender social lounge, handicpped black lesbians liberation demonstartion, lots of really neat shit. Sorry I never got chance to turn myself over for four to five years of that! My lose I guess, clearly I have suffered from lack of proper American university education.
Overheard in the library shitter:
Guy1: Man, they've got me on a tough schedule.
Guy2: Really? What is it.
Guy1: I've got three classes. Remedial Reading, Remedial Writing, and Remedial Math.
Guy2: Damn, dude...that's a tough load. What's your major?
Guy1: Teaching.
(me in the stall: 'Oh, My Fucking God!')
At the time I was carrying intermediate accounting III, marketing, advanced auditing, finance II, White Male Bashing 101, Operations and Management II and Spanish VI.
LOL! At my old univ, the education building was near our college. I doubt most of these future "teachers" could read at a 6th grade level. The bottom of the barrel is what ends up teaching in pubic schools. Not all teachers but the union AA types are clueless and illiterate. They all get phony masters degrees and PhD's paid for by the school system to increase pay and union dues.
just maybe Guy1 was learning how to teach remedial ... ??
Hmmmm... Looks like it might be a good candidate for Common Core English reading material /sarc

"My environmental geology degree gets more embarassing by the day. But it was nice to learn that exponential growth will be the ruination of us all."
This statement shows everything that is wrong with the climatology scientists way of thinking. They look at a small sample, 10 years, maybe 20 years of human existence, and fit it to an exponential growth formula that shows 10 trillion people on the planet in 50 years. And then they look at people who actually earned degrees in science and mathematics and call them science deniers.
The vast majority of callege majors are not career prep. They are very expensive hobbies. Much cheaper to hit up the public library.

We were told in the 1980's we were going to be a SERVICE ECONOMY by the great RAYGUN. IT'S HERE!!!!!
Sorry, but now it is the knowledge eCONomy.
And TPTB are failing that miserably.
did I get junked for bringing up the 80's, mentioning RAYGUN or having an evil burnt dick?
I junked you for RAYGUN. If it makes you feel any better I'd of junked you for Slick Wille too.
How'd you burn your junk?

Yes, it does explain it well.
Yup.
Then don't major in Lesbian Underwater Basketweaving. Dumbass.
No shit. I saw this show with a bright young chef who was bragging about her brother who just got his "diversity" degree. EXCUSE ME ?!?! Can you explain to me what in the hell your diversity degree will do to make our business more profitable? How about your "Woman's studies" degree? WTF is wrong with these kids?
How do you get a "Diversity's study" major off your front porch?
Pay him for the pizza.
probably pretty smart. go work for a race baiting hustler like Reverend Al, or Charlie Rangel, or Jesse Jackson, and you could fly around the world in a private jet, get chauffeured around in a limo, and all the blow you want.
Actually, you've pointed out a pretty slick setup to the 'diversity' degree. The Reverend sharing his powder would be an epic job perk. Jet. High salary. Race baitin' baby~!!!! Whoooo Whoooo~~~~!!~~!
Ha ha ha dream on. There is no more demanding, tight fisted boss than a liberal icon. I got wise to this back in the sixties when Ralph Nader sent a team of Nader's Raiders (young idealistic law grads who worked all the hours God sent for $50 a week) to help out a strike of downtrodden secretaries in California.
The secretaries got $120 for a 40 hour week.
Check out the working conditions and pay at Michael Moore, David Suzuki etc etc and see how you would want to work for them.
I've come to realize after a decade in a few enterprise type settings- Diversity just means "non-white, non-male".
That and 'multiculturalism' actually means no culture.
Dull Care
That means western countries have no right to their own cultures. Every Tom, Dick and Harry from the southern hemisphere gets to replace/ displace your culture and inheritance .
I've always taken it to mean cultural rot.
Syrin - Well with a Diversity degree you can bring it to court and show the judge so your not convicted of sexual harrassment or gender bias. See? You need one of these now to show your employees upfront too, that way you might avoid the court altogether!
dude my company has fuggin diversity executives
A person with a diversity degree of the right ethnicity would be seen as a worthwhile addition to the human resource departments of many large companies.
that;s not fair; Engineering majors from good State Colleges in the Medwest can't find jobs.
Says the guy with no job....
Why not? That's a skill I would pay to watch.
I am guessing that involves some form of diving then?
There is still some demand for underwater welders. You don't have to be a lesbian but some form weirdness would probably help esp. OCD for detail if you want to stay alive.
Alternate ending: "Actually, I'm here to install the robot that's going to replace you."
yeah, too bad there are only so many STEM jobs out there though. And, few people can get through the curriculum. My engineering class started out with several hundred students. It graduated less than 40, and of those, only about 30 have obtained their PE licenses. that leaves about 270 wannabe burger flippers.
The magic word is hire an Asian HB1 visa person for your STEM job. Used to be quite a few companies that would burn and churn their Engineers, that is they'd hire recent graduates and then dump the one that were getting up to the top or even the middle of the pay scale bracket. Their explanation was that it kept their costs downs and their knowledge "fresh" now they just use graduates from from foreign schools. That and the decline of manufacturing due to tax and regulation policies has reduced the need for people who make real stuff. )n the otherr hand if you need to build a coding plantation....
Doesn't it work the other way too? Can't an American with a real degree get a job in, say, Saudi Arabia or Europe?
When I took my Orienation to Biomedical Engineering class the prof told us look around 1/10th of you will graduate with this degree.
The guy was pretty accurate.
Funny, I remember hearing the same speech in my first year of Computer Science some years ago.
Not with her degree in Gender Studies.
Please; t here is a real problem. Engineering graduates with good records can't find jobs; this isn't a fair summation of the situation.
Replacement = iBot.
It's coming...
Low wage jobs are the only deterrent to automation. It is the middle wage earners, those who expect health benefits, retirement and paid vacations that are going to be replaced first. I Install work into offices lined with row after row of white collar workers, hundreds per floor, sitting behind monitors and keyboards, "processing". These are the folks that will be rendered redundant. Even with the construction slowdown we saw workers laid off, but before them were project managers, the real overhead. I think we fool ourselves to be concerned about the plight of fast food workers, when as always, it is the middle class that is under the real pressure. We just don't see it as such many times because these people are squeezed into the bottom wage earners group, just prior to be dissipated completely. The middle class forced into the lower class earner category further depresses those wages unless government steps in, through minimum wage or entitlement supports. Middle class wage earners are weaving the ropes for their own hanging. People need to be self employed, they need to own as much of their future as possible. Traditional employment is but another form of dependency.
Isn't it 3 out of 10 businesses survive the 1st two years?
I have a friend who's WORSE than fucked for having tried...
Lost it ALL...170k in debt, lost his wife kids car, homeless...has tried suicide 3 times
This is the reality, a reality that is conveniently "swept under the carpet".
We ALL hear about those "successful Entrepreneurs" who have made the big time, but the tens of thousands who worked just as hard (often harder), but were discarded along the way never warrant a mention.
It is also interesting to examine the connections of those who succeed vs. those who fail. Family, and the support therefrom, is a very major contributor to a "successful" business, especially if "Family" has connections to the right politicians (the Gates family comes to mind here . . . .)
The whole purpose of Obozocare is to make you rethink that self-employment decision.

Even hand jobs are too expensive now.
SERVICE ECONOMY?
Yesterday I went to a local cheese shoppe. Yep, cheese shoppe (This is CA, folks) All I wanted was a small flat plastic container of ground asiago cheese. Took the dork about 20 minutes to get the cheese out, cut the fucking piece off, weigh it, trim the rind .... and then asked me if I wanted it in a plastic bag. No, I want it in the small short plastic container at which I had already pointed. Conversation with his boss. Huh? Meander about, consult with more senior cheese server. Several looks of misery and pain. Meanwhile another girl who'd fucked up the very same order about 3 months ago was there. Last time when she waited on me she got half way through the fucking challenge and almost ready to cry excused herself for lunch to which her boos explained that she was sensitive. I'd told him she's not sensitive, she's plain mean spirited, nasty, impolite and a pain in the ass. So, yesterday's hero completes the mystery assignment of the year and asks about 15 minutes later, asks if there's anything else. I wanted to say that I'd hope to get home in time for my birthday next September, but decided to just smile and pay. Cost? $3.55. And 15 minutes of watching a clueless product of the CA educational system fail at grinding cheese.
Cuz we just don' give a fuk.
Imagine how the employer of these "cheese rinds" feels. He may have earned a dollar profit on that cheese sale, but paid out $3 in wages to provide the service. Everyone bitches about prices going up but looking around it is hard to visualize how we can afford to pay any of us for what little most are willing OR able to do.
Knukles - You need to move to Brooklyn. Here the average barrista not only can create cool artwork in your cappacino but they have 5 other jobs that they work during the week (e.g app developer, local movie tech., skateboard designer, kamboucha marketing & bassist for a metal band), not to mention the other 2 jobs in the "underground" economy. They live stacked like cord wood in old warehouses in Greenpoint that still boast glowing toxic chemicals from the 70's. To offset the high rent they hold Raves on their rooftops and give a cut to the local police so that it won't get shut down.
Any Cali slackers who won't pull their weight or don't have adaptable skills get pushed out to the Bronx or join the "happy ending" massage dweebs.
I see that shit all over these specialty shops! The counter people are from another planet. We went to a "Swedish Bakery" in Chicago downtown. Supposed to be chick and trendy. Fucking Mexicans behind the counter, knew little English, and nothing about traditonal Swedish baked goods. Asked for Bullar, no clue, said Buns, no clue. I said small, round, white, pieces of baked bread, sor tof like McDonalds Burger buns, only thicker and smaller. What a fucking joke, manger was enlish literate, but from Salvador or Costa Rica.

Not too many "Now Hiring" signs around these days.
Since January, our company of about 100 people has had the damndest time finding individuals to work for a starting wage of $12 an hour, no experience needed, health and dental benefits, vacation, quarterly bonuses, plenty of overtime, all in a casual office environment. The catch is we need employees that can write sentences. The American educational system and constant government welfare programs are most likely to blame for our lack of candidates. So be it.
Can I do it from home?
Sure, why work for $12 when you can just sit at home and watch TV all day for $20 an hour?
What's your secret?
Become an expert at applying for free shit like the hordes in Obombers Free Shit Army?
Can I get an iPhone 6+ or a Note Edge?
Wut? Y U NO HIRE?
:)

American Teachers Union. plus other factors. illiteracy is the new normal. Also, please note; the ability to form and think in complete sentences goes along with the ability to reason. Very, very, bad situation.
All to Be Solved With Common Core!
Being able to communicate in the english language is racist and shows a lack of respect for other cultures.
Besides, if we could actually communicate with each other they fear we might be able to figure out exactly how bad they are fucking us.
I see a couple of red flags here. There's "office environment" and "plenty of overtime" with no mention of a union. So, let me guess, mandatory unpaid overtime? Also I don't see "paid" anywhere near benefits or vacation. You don't suppose the "benefits" cost a single person $400/month with a $5000 deductible for prescriptions? Gee, I wonder why you can't fill that job (if it even exists) at $12/hour. In 2014. There are grocery stores that pay almost as well with none of the stress of an office run by derps with a Master's in Bungling Assholery.
I worked in a company with quarterly bonuses once. Leadership, particularly in my department, was nonexistent. "My" bonus, and the rest of them, came entirely off the back of the sales reps.
You may be on to something. Sometimes what is NOT said, trumps the information that IS given. More here than meets the eye. $12.00 an hour after fed income taxes, social security, medicare, state, local, and health benefit premium. What are we talking disposable income per month? $1,200 >, this my fit for a two income lower middle class family. But much depends on what is expected in the way of labor and stress to get that $300 disposable income a week. Indeed, you can check grociers stress free for more than that take home pay.
These people calling job seekers dumb are actually upset about them being smart. Rent alone takes almost every dime of a $9/hour job...before it goes up, or the township mandates services, or you decide not to starve naked in the dark. And they can't figure out why A) the positions go unfilled, B) the "kids" working them still live with their parents, and C) saving for retirement isn't happening?
It's amazing what people refuse to think through when they want to profit off of another's labor.
I recently read a thread on a right-wing forum about why businesses aren't starting up. Of course they blame the boogeyman. It's not that he's blameless, it's that he's just one factor of many. Usually I cite my own business that I started in 2012 but this time I mapped out the logistics of publishing a comic book. I had a real license fee and real circulation numbers and real retail/wholesale prices. The numbers plainly showed that the license fee alone consumed over 2/3 of the book's revenue. But they wouldn't hear any of it and actually wiped out the entire post. In the last two weeks I've been erased from more records than some of Stalin's enemies...
We been trying to hire drivers at $18/hr. Quite a few have shown up, clocked in, then walked off. In California, just to get them to consider getting off the dole, minimum wage would have to be $23 or so.
$12 an hour in 2014 will get you a one bedroom apartment in a crappy neighborhood and a bus pass.
That's why no one is interested.
in the 70s and early 80s you drive down any main street and you would see NOW HIRING signs
Now, for rent and for lease signs all over the place
Know why you never see a dollar amount on those signs? Because then you'd know why they're still vacant and it's not Obama.
and "No Loitering"
Yes, factories needed labor, especially in the big cities. When going to school, I took a night factory job. The hiring guy asked me if I was willing to work and get dirty. I said, fuck yes! He said, many come in, see the dirty overalls of workers and walk right back out.
MasterControl - Thats not true. I just saw a now hiring sign at Dunkin Donuts this morning!

Im a big fan of learning trade skills such as welding, auto mechanic, construction, electrical, plumbing, and general wood working in high schools. Also, home economics and basic finance math, balancing checkbook, and finnacial responsibility. We should be teaching this in high schools or make it mandatory 2 years military and teach it there. Seth
Dude.... When I was in High School (pre last ice age) every town of any size had a (trades) Technical high school ("Techs") where kids went to learn the trades, just as you have addressed. Not anymore! Wonder why, huh?
In Europe kids don't learn trades - dirt cheap imported eastern European migrant labour put paid to that.
