I guess you are lucky and live in a cocoon.  The jobs
available for college graduates is very small.  It used to be 
that graduating from college would be a ticket for getting 
a good job. No more.  Even having a job doesnt help -- try 
telling it to the soon to be unemployed 15,000 DEC employees
when they go around trying to find new jobs.

Because the job market is so scarce there is a huge, huge
increase in the number of people applying to graduate school.
When they get their graduate degrees, where are the jobs then?

DOnt be so smug, and remember "there but for the grace of God, goes me"
