I learned that it doesn't matter how much or how hard you work. Life does not reward work. It rewards risk.

Is that why you have a hot wife?

Yes sir. Took a risk.

I've tried that several times.  Of course, I called it "taking a risk".  District Court of Maryland called it "stalking".

Underemployed? Study says blame college degree

'The U.S. labor market is "oversaturated" with college graduates who are underemployed, according to a new study by PayScale.
The employment research firm said it analyzed 40 million career profiles in its database to come up with the 10 most underemployed majors for graduates with no more than a bachelor's degree.'

http://www.ajc.com/weblogs/biz-beat/2013/jun/20/underemployed-study-says-blame-college-degree/

PayScale economist Katie Bardaro said for some majors, degrees are far-outpacing employment demand. "The labor pool is oversaturated with college graduates, and job opportunities are simply not there, Bardaro said in releasing the study this week. "Underemployment is a concern for many college graduates, but underemployment is definitely real for certain majors, like business, criminal justice and drama."

Making the Top 10 list of underemployed majors: (1) business administration and management; (tied for No. 2) drama and theater arts, criminal justice; (4) anthropology; (5) liberal arts; (6) history; (7) psychology; (8) biology; (9) English; (10) economics.


PayScale says underemployment among business administration and management majors is eight times what is typical nationally.


Among the other findings:


       
  • Among college departments, business schools have the highest underemployment while engineering schools have the lowest.
  • Some of the most common jobs for underemployed workers include administrative assistants, customer service representatives and paralegal/legal assistants.
  • The typical starting median pay for underemployed graduates can range from $19,000 to $49,600.
  • The typical starting median pay for workers in the 10 most underemployed metropolitan ranges from $30,100 in the Youngstown, Ohio, area to $38,500 in Stockton, Calif.

Psychology majors are almost twice as likely to end up working as a barista than other underemployed grads, PayScale found.
