This jobs situation is no joke. There are so many people on the edge right now its ridiculous. The sentiment out there is what's really poison. People are downtrodden, entrepreneurs are just looking to survive and not invest. There is something like 20 unemployed for every job opening. My sister and I are both are college age and have applied for numerous basic jobs... not even a response back. I don't need a job but it pisses me off I can't get one. The economy is totally broken. I do agree think that free trade/globalization has done serious damage to the american way of life. The least affected industries by the crisis are those that are very problematic to outsource. I also blame the monetary system, capitalism, and contempt for modesty by the masses. Nothing is forever, not even the american way of life.
I predict you'll be just as successful trading as you have been "making wealth" with opportunities "given" to you by the economy.
Mid East isn't Middle East. For those of us that live in the United States, Mid East are states in the middle eastern part of the US.
I came out of college with a highly desirable degree . . . at least it was when I went in. I found that my skills weren't going to get me where I wanted to be so I sacrificed and took lesser part time unrelated jobs, saved my money and went back to school and got a different degree. I am far better off today than if I would have been had I sat on the street unwilling to reeducate myself and whining about the economy. I had to insure I had skills not only to just get by but to succeed wildly. If you think it should take a person a year or two to learn a clerk's position or that taking a lesser position to obtain a job is "selling themselves short" then we have a bigger problem in this country other than our economy.
I know a lot of students (American citizens and others from foreign countries) and notice that the ones in Financial field have an edge in finding jobs, one of my niece got a job offer from Lazard and is to start work in July 2010, the other works for Ernest & young in Florida, the rest of the others in Engg and Pharma are having tough time finding jobs. The non American students have no job offers either, even though they have the same or better skills then their American counterparts. Lucky
Anyone who believes that a degree entitles them to a high paying job deserves to get shafted. Regardless of which school you went to, until you acquire business specific skills on the job, you are actually not worth much to your employer. In order to build the skill set needed to land the good jobs that people like pitz believes is their birthright, winners who know how to compete will deliberately under price themselves to get the job and hence the experience. Earning less in the beginning is trivial when compared to how much you earn down the road when you can deliver meaningful value to others. It is indeed sad that after receiving a topnotch education, pitz can only whine about his predicament. Despite all the analysis he prides himself on, the guy who probably lives off the largess of his parents or his girlfriendâs parents cannot see that the biggest American bubble of all is American labor costs. If you thought that the NASDAQ or the real estate bubble was news, you need a reality check on what people elsewhere get paid. American unemployment benefits are so generous that it would actually count as a good wage in some European countries. To top it off, people like pitz actually believe that they are in fact worth the inflated salaries they demand. Does the guy really trade? Anyone who claims to do it for 20 minutes every day and manages to succeed is just a boastful liar. And in pitzâs case, a boastful liar who is trying very hard to cover for his total lack of self esteem. If he has never worked, where did he get the capital? How does he make ends meet? Is his mommy still slipping him an allowance which he then justifies as okay because he is âmanaging moneyâ for his folks? pitz you are pathetic. It is because of people like you that the American economy is broken. Never thinking of how you can contribute but always asking for more and blaming everyone else when things go wrong.
fuck BBC, that government run shitty biased news agency every BBC news reporter in a foreign country is nothing but a fucking spy who goes around collecting news that will help create more chaos and problems for that country, I'm surprised they are not thrown out of the country and upon returning imprisoned indefinitely
+1 University teaches nothing, just taking orders on preparing papers by the assigned date and shit like that
