Just because the majority says so, doesn't mean you're right (?)

Next stop: Occupy Morroc.

Morroc is just a big ghetto now anyway.

Bots are the real majority
Trolls are the minority who make it seem like only they(i.e trolls) are the majority

The unemployment rate for persons with a bachelors degree is only 4.3%. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Unless you only have an associates degree, you should be ok. If only...

I have 2 friends that have a Ph D in Technological fields and their jobs went over seas to the lowest bidder.

Yep. People with Masters degrees are working at McDonalds.

I know some of the same people, and their student loans are killing them as a result too.

Its a spoof of a grass roots movement taking place all around the world. The true origin of it was in Spain I believe and most recently just over a month ago it started at Wall Street in the US. Since then its grown to something like 150 major cities or more now in the US and across every continent.

This thread is very close to being moved to another section. Occupy Prontera doesn't work because it's already occupied. And everyone needs to leave eden group, that's just ridiculous. Couldn't even find Sparkle and still can't see him/her.

That's the percentage of people receiving unemployment benefits. It does NOT include:
-People who have never found a job after college, or didn't have one long enough to claim benefits
-People who have chosen not to file for benefits
-People who have been unemployed for so long that said benefits expired
-People flipping burgers or otherwise doing absolutely nothing with that degree
-People getting paid half of what their salary would have been 5 years ago, because the employer knows there's 100 people lined up to take the job if they quit

Add all those together, and it's a hell of a lot more than 4.3%.

Also, for those who think I'm talking about obscure degrees, I went to a technical college. Out of everyone else I know personally that graduated, 2 have jobs actually using their degrees, 2 have something vaguely related at a much lower wage (tech support), and the remainder are either wage slaves, unemployed, or in my case, mostly unemployed and very occasionally landing a short-term contract.

These are programmers, engineers, and architects - not fields that are normally at all difficult to find employment in.

Man there's all these Australian firms recruiting in my community offering better wages
than what most BA/BS holders make in the USA for menial labor work out in Australia.

I'm seriously considering going next year...brain drain, anyone?

NOTE: Why occupy Prontera when Lighthalzen is home to such a sinister corporation?

[Inubashiri]

I understand completely, its because those jobs are being shipped to China & India mostly. Its revolting.

I play RO so I can get a break from most of the crap going on in real life. Is there really a need to bring real life into a game?
