For the life of me, WHY would the county hire people with THESE degrees to perform THIS grunt work?? The only thing I can come up with is “because they can.” :={[/quote]

Maybe they don’t have any skills to do the work that you or they think they should be doing?

I know a lot of teenagers and college students that don’t work and have never had a job. They graduate and think they should start in management–when they’ve never actually had a job doing anything.

Please…

I started working when I was 14 and had various jobs all through high school and college. Even then, I still had to work my way up through crap jobs after college.

I managed to live on my own and pay back my college loans just fine on a low salary. I didn’t get to own a nice car, have nice clothes or go out a lot. I didn’t have the money. I had to live frugally for a long time.

I think a lot of these kids are living at home because they don’t want to give up the lifestyle they’ve become accustomed to so they let their parents pay for it. They are gonna have a hell of a time when they actually get out in the real world and have to pay their own way.
