Is this actually true, though? This kind of makes it sound like everyone who went to college in the 70s and 80s was on easy street, but I don't know if that's reality or nostalgia.
- nsxwolf 11y agoDefinitely not true, but it felt to me like that's the impression most of us had. Though, getting out of college in the mid to late 90s was a pretty great time for job prospects. Once it sank in that your Marine Biology degree wasn't going to get you a 6 figure job swimming with dolphins, there were plenty of fast growing companies eager to suck up any warm bodies.
