@DeJach No credit? School debt? Bad economy? Erosion of middle class buying power? Crumbling infrastructure? Corporations destroying small business? You're fucked.

@DeJach Right. Call me in a few years then, when you've got your share of those billions. Assuming that your job hasn't been outsourced, or that the economy hasn't crashed again, due to the rampant SEC corruption (an Occupy grievance if I'm not mistaken). Btw, I'll bet that the majority of those billions aren't going to entry-level programmers, just a guess.

Obama spent $5 Trillion and not a damn thing is better. People's hours are being cut so they're making less money. The 8.6% was because of holiday jobs. I'd be glad to see Unemployment go down, but it probably wont happen. Bush caused this, but Obama has made it worse, He's had three years to fix this shit and he hasn't.

@MrHav1k "There are no jobs thanks to Barack". Don't you mean thanks to Bush? Unemployment has been slashed from 11% to 8% since Obama became President.

Ana welcome to the real world.

Ignorance is high no matter your education.

You can be uneducated and smart.

and well educated and ignorant/stupid

I thought the Republicans had proven that point already & the politicians and bankers in my country as well.

It is ironic when people dont get a job because they are uneducated while someone educated gets the same job and barely works and is lazy.

Just saying. education doesnt mean your intelligent. just that you got a good memory.

@571jans And 99% of the 99% aren't doing crap to help fight for they're rights.

@DeJach VCs? Viet Cong?

Good point about bootstrapping. It's an excellent tactic (one I am using right now... quite successfully I might add). Although I still think people need to generate quality ideas (even if that idea is just more brilliant execution than the other guy).

[leptonsoup337]

@MrHav1k It fair to blame Barack on the lack of jobs. We should blame the entire government for their inaction, greedy corps and bankers for hollowing out businesses and banks, and everyday, dumbass tax payers for sitting around during "the good times" while all of this happened under their noses while telling their kids "get college educated and take out loans! It's "good" debt! With a degree you are entitled to be middle class and make of money! You can write you own ticket!!!1".

@571jans The top 10% programmers and developers (managing programmers) make rain, but anyone graduating with less than a C average will have trouble finding good work (if they're not skilled or inspired in a way not shown in standard scoring).

Basically, all engineers with a B average or above can pick and choose well paying jobs, while those with lower scores have a though competition. D average engineers are generally not viewed at "competent labour" by the industry.
