[quote=Arraya]Oh, good grief. If I was a graduate, I would be more concerned with the fact that the country is a train wreck in motion rather than running off to become a cog in some corporate wheel in a dwindling pool of cogs. [/quote]

The key to not being a cog is twofold.

The ability to create and the willingness to work for it themselves.

Cogdom requires a just putting in my time mentality(often, the minimal amount of effort), to collect the paycheck.
