And I wasn't whining.Just saying it wasn't the land milk and honey that a lot of people here want to believe.
On the other hand I agree with the general point that people make too much of macroeconomic conditions and their impact on individuals. Getting a first job isn't easy for those who graduate college without quantifiable skills. It doesn't matter whether it's today or in 1979.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

But Yeah. I was in pre-law, so my major was poly sci. Not the best degree to have when looking for a job in leaner times. Thank god I had been a computer engineering major for a few years which helped get me into the application development end of business.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple
