More lies.
Ay, don't you have unanswered questions waiting for you in the politics section, you filthy rat?
Almost makes the reigning one not seem quite as bad, huh?
I was always of the opinion that Will should have been a back-to-back champ. I voted for him. The current champ wanted it too much.
All good points.

This shabby list is bogus without context.
Take a look at number 6 in architecture and the various engineering fields. Genetics and chemistry with a higher unemployment rate than journalism?
We know for a fact that architecture has an artificially high unemployment rate because most arch. undergrads stay on for post-baccalaureate certifications. These folks are more than employable, they are just conforming to a standard set for their field.
The same can apply for the engineering fields (though engineering management is looked at as "soft" or pseudo-engineering, especially for undergrad) which require post-baccalaureate certifications.
If we consider that along with data on graduates employed in their major or even in jobs that require a college degree and this list will be even more slanted by humanities/liberal arts degrees.
It's the truth, but a lot of liberals don't want to admit it, because selling those degrees is a bit of a cottage industry for many libs.

True, but a lot of work has shifted to the public sector and for younger architects, to focus on repairs. The long term prospects for someone with a useless degree is always in a bust cycle.
I was with up until the last comment.
I agree the list is skewed, especially in light of those disciplines that typically require post-Graduate degrees in order to meet professional standards in various disciplines. It simply isn't clear when and for how long this alleged period of unemployment is supposed to exist. Moreover, the idea that some jobs are more likely to lead to employment fails to consider whether many of those jobs are worth having to begin with.
But I really don't see what liberals have to do with anything. You think the article's author is liberally biased because she says a lot of the liberal arts & humanities majors are likely to be unemployed?
I'm just not following you.

Thank god for internet porn...
I can't get my foot in the internet porn door cause I need a pair of implants first. But to pay for them I need a job, which I won't get cause my degree is up there.
You're one of the lucky ones, Spexy.
