What about the guys of foodstamps?

The elibility requirements for food stamps is pretty freakin low.  Plenty of hard working middle class Americans qualify.

They also switched from Monopoly money to a fake credit card so people don't feel register shame.

While I'm sympathetic to Ide and his plight, young people and their choice of higher education generally sucks.

I started asking around to see what companies needed EE degreed peeps and man...I realized I have no idea WTF I am talking about or doing.  Fortunately I still have a couple years out before I have to do this in earnest.  We students really have no fucking idea...and worse we do not know we have no fucking idea until we actually start getting serious about employment.

Richland County DSS will fuck with you though.  The very first contact I had with their office was a letter informing me I'd missed my interview. :rolleyes:

I've got to refile anyway since my income has changed, and when I move at the end of the month I'll probably be ineligible--I don't know if they'll attribute the income of my friend and his mom to our "household," if I live in their attic, but they might.

Isn't easier to track the money and see what it is being spent on that way?  I mean I presume they did it for reasons other than the self esteem of food stampers.

Yep.  Second career.  My history degree (and even getting that was a fluke) didn't work out for some reason.

Quote from: Darth Wagtaros on February 03, 2012, 12:00:26 PMI know people who are 30 something and haven't been out of school since they started First Grade.  I think it should be looked at with an aim to supporting oneself after graduation as well as all that other stuff.

My wife is having trouble at work with people like this. They are being super selective about hiring because of the economy, so they're hiring people with more degrees. Problem is, those people have spent so much time in an academic environment, they have no skills with getting things done in the corporate world. Some catch on, and some don't. There has been a bunch of turnover due to this.

QuoteA spokeswoman at Brooklyn Law told msnbc.com that the school had just gotten the complaint and was unable to comment on it. She did point out employment statistics for the class of 2010, reflected on the school's website, which showed an overall job placement rate of 88.1 percent.

This is kind of a funny response, because the principal allegation of the complaint is that the job placement rates are misleadingly calculated and reported.

I only ended up with it because I was too emo to finish my senior physics project :blush:

My life really has been nuts since that fateful year.  Too long in school had officially driven me insane.

What is it one of our grads was a law temp for a week so that counts?  Or does it even have to be legal work?
