But that's the problem with our current climate surrounding college. Even practical degrees aren't helping anymore. I wrote about this on this post already, but I majored in history and education in the hopes of becoming a history teacher. That really shouldn't be that impossible to get a job in, and yet, it is. There…

I just graduated with my education degree, and becoming a teacher isn't even a viable option anymore. I graduated with a very high GPA from a good, local university, and I'm not getting anything. I submit applications and resumes everyday, online, in person - I never even receive a call. I don't even think they SEE my…

That makes me feel a bit better. I'm in Florida. I just hope I get a job. Any school :-/

It is looking like I will be subbing until I find a permanent position. I'm very lucky in that I went to school locally so have been living at home for the past four years, with no plans of moving out until I have a real job. So I can afford to substitute for shitty pay until I get a real job. It just sucks to feel…

I just graduated, and I used to think the same - that if you put the time in and work hard, your degree CAN take you far. But I don't think that applies to our generation anymore. Our generation (millenials) were told that if we just work hard and put in our time then we'll succeed, and I think that what happened is…

I was just contemplating college and how worth it it was. I graduated three weeks ago, bachelor's in history and education. My dream is to teach high school students history. That's it.

I actually entirely agree with her when she says this "The Democrats talk about a war on women, but much of what you see is written by the supposedly tolerant liberals. Their message is clear: conservative women are fair game. If you are a female and a Republican, anything goes."

I know this is (slightly) off topic, but lately I've been seeing people use the word "troll" to describe anyone that is slightly pissing them off or disagreeing with them. I was in a feminist debate the other day online, and someone called me a "troll" because I didn't agree with their stance on sex work. I wasn't…

Yeah. Its good etiquette for the host not to ask for a gift, and its good etiquette for the guest to give the host a gift. I always see all these comments like "well we asked for cash" or "we asked for gifts" and really the most polite thing to do is not ask for anything. Since you are not owed gifts!

Agreed. It really pisses me off. I think its really ridiculous to get money for getting married as if its some life achievement - sorry, but I don't think getting married should be looked at as a big accomplishment. I'd rather give money/gifts to my friends who finish grad school, law school, med school, land a new…

It is very tacky to ask for ANYTHING. A gift is a voluntary item that a guest graciously gives their host in thanks for throwing a party. A host is never supposed to expect a gift. I think it is so rude to ask for either money or gifts. And Miss Manners agrees!

I feel like society doesn't give teenagers enough credit on the topic of teen pregnancy. Most teenagers know that it sucks. Most teenagers DON'T want to have babies. Its not like all it takes is a Polaroid of a pregnant girl and her boyfriend to convince a bunch of 16 year old girls to go get knocked up. Most teens…

I DO NOT understand this. I've seen a lot of schools that have this "no tattling" policy - WHAT THE FUCK? I am a teacher and part of my job is making sure kids are safe, if a student is ever having a problem I absolutely want to know!

Oh god, the "respect life" group at my college did this as well. They put up little graduation caps to remember "all the aborted babies who don't get to graduate this year." I was appalled and my first thought was "I wonder how all the girls who have had abortions feel when they see this" but ultimately the group had…

That bothered me so much when I read that. I think its really messed up to assign the older girls as babysitters - sure, they should help out at times - but their siblings are not their children. They need to build their own lives.

I really do not understand how they don't realize their hypocrisy. From my understanding, they didn't use any birth control because they believed that God would give them a baby/choose their path/whatever. They didn't want to interfere. But now, it seems they are going directly against their original beliefs - they…

Yeah, I hate it. Look, I know that there are people who really benefit from an open relationship and can make it work. Good for them. But not everyone wants that. Some people love being monogamous. I've been noticing a handful of my friends' boyfriends have been suggesting, or just talking, about open relationships…
