Thanks. Oh yeah, that birthday thang that keeps popping up ever so once
in a while. I left my friends to their own devices, quite literally.
These are folks who though are techies themselves told me four years ago
when I got an Android phone they didn't feel they had any need for one.
They've gone through more models than I have and currently have Samsung
Note phones along with who knows how many laptops. They left yesterday
to spend Christmas will relatives a little further north. So their big
RV is gone from in front of my house.

There are plenty of degreed folks including ones with MAs and Phds who
can't find work even in the well paying STEM fields. Many of those
jobs have been outsourced. And grads from college wind up in "no
paying" intern jobs.
Agreed that minimum wage jobs weren't meant to be careers. Those were
for high school and college folks for some extra cash. Much of this
is the unintended consequences of the housing boom and bust. It's
thrown everything out of whack and should have NEVER occurred.

Let's see, she works about five hours a day and can't live on what
she makes. Go to a community college, take some courses in something
that will pay better and get a better job. Jobs like she has had for
so long are usually considered entree level jobs and usually don't
pay much. You get some work experience there, build a resume and go
on to bigger and better things. Now, people want to be able to retire
from McDonald's as a burger flipper after thirty years and have a
100% pension after putting all your kids through college and paying
off the mortgage. I have to agree with Bhairtu for once, inflation if
the culprit.

*/I actually wrote, in my original version of this post, as a kind of
"teaser" line before the URL, "Welcome to your future, America."
Then I deleted it, because I figured FFLers and TMers (not to mention
Americans in general) wouldn't be able to handle that. Thanks for
breaking the ice so I didn't have to. /*
