"Just because you got a degree does not qualify you to be employed."
...so does that mean that society will pay their bills until they are qualified to be employed? Seriously, employment is either a responsibility or it's a privilege. It can't be both.
- danielzarick 16y agoI should have clarified that a bit more, I guess. This was primarily directed at unemployed recent graduates who cannot find work in their field of choice. "Just because you got a degree does not qualify you to be employed in your field" would have been more appropriate. If you are only willing to put in minimal effort and a drab of creativity, there are many low-paying hourly wage, or other, jobs out there for you. However, I firmly believe that just because you graduate with a degree does not qualify you to a career in your, or any, field. There is a lot you have to prove about yourself outside the classroom.

" Unless they won't hire you because you're "over-qualified" and they assume you'll bolt for the first higher-paying job that comes along.
