we live in the most popular and yet most hated country in the world.  the land of opportunity, or so they say.  i have a friend who has been looking for a job since last January.  i have another friend who is graduating with his doctorate in mathematics and could only find two jobs as a professor in a university.  my future brother in law wants to go to law School and only got into one school.  if there was an "opportunity" they would have taken advantage of it.

i had to interview people for a job fair with my company because were opening a new store and we had about 1300 people show up.  thats 1300 people who don't have a job, have never worked because they cant find a job, and had to cut their education short because they couldn't afford it anymore.

great opportunities!

i make decent money as a manager in a grocery store.  is it what i want to do for the rest of my life?  i'm not sure.  its a good business but i think i want to go back to school for psychology.  my fear is that i go back to school for psychology and DON'T find a job in the field after i graduate and end up where i am now paying an extra $100,000 in student loans.

i think the United States motto shouldn't be the land of opportunity but "the former land of opportunity, the current land of disappointment"
