College graduates are the new unskilled worker

[mountain grammy]

7. This makes me feel a little better. My daughter is 24 and got her degree

in Enviromental Science last fall. She is currently employed about 60 hours a month for the university calling for pledges. She will lose that job this spring because she is no longer a student.
I begged her to major in math or, at least, Environment Engineering, because she's a math wiz, but she loved geology and the science classes. I said "great, you can be a geologist and grow up to be governor."
Well, she'd be better than our current geologist gov. who insists fracking is safe and even drank some fracking water (yeah, right!)
Luckily, thanks to an inheritance from her aunt, the reasonable tuition at Metro State University, and a small condo we've owned in Denver since before she was born, the kid has no college debt. But the job searches have come up empty. A few friends have gone to the fracking fields of North Dakota, but my kid is still looking.
