I can't hate on 'em for it. It's a decently catchy tune that raises a good point. If this gets shared through social media a bit maybe it can inspire some dialogue.

This is 100% unrelated to your comment, which was on point by the way, but... What's your educational background? I've been considering getting into programming but I have an economics degree - am I useless?

That is one of the cutest things I HAVE EVER SEEN. His smile!! :3 AAAGH.

I wonder if it was an Of Mice and Men situation?

Thanks!!

Mosquitos and wasps will fly after you, though I admit that the Usain Bolt-level spiders and centipedes are far more terrifying.

Thank you very much for the well wishes Mr. Ogre! I will check out the tests 'n' stuff when I get the chance :)

You've peaked my curiosity; how did your sister find the job search when she was right out of school? How did she get onto the path she's on now?

That's really good to know! I've increasingly been looking at government jobs. Maybe I have to get over the idea of staying in Calgary.

Actually just googled to see if that was a name haha I must be tired!

I'm so sorry that you're going through something similar. I am just so bitter that I've done everything "right" and am still doing very low-level admin work with absolutely no relevance to my field and no reasonable hope of ever getting anything better. The best anyone can offer when I'm upset is that "It'll get…

PS. I have a BA Econ. BAeCON. Bullshit and bacon ftw!

I've actually been offered jobs in finance before but the jobs I was offered were always as a middle-aged man's assistant who made no secret of being attracted to me. I actually have a decently high GPA from the most respected university in the province and my major is in economics but I spent 2 years in the,…

I have, yeah. Many of my informational interviews have been with successful female economists and I was really hoping for advice but all I got was pity (which really really sucked to hear...). They basically clawed their way to success at the expense of other areas of their lives to get to positions that their male…

Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. I'm in a job where, technically, a high school diploma is required but here I am with a good degree and a certificate in this field (that I got JUST so I could get a damn job) and I'm far more educated than every single man in the company, including the executive suite. Guess who…

Toronto has our stock exchange, but Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and a few others have a lot of finance jobs as well.

I would not recommend it unless you're a man. Literally no one trusts me to dispense economic or financial advice because I'm a conventionally pretty woman.

Ugh, I'm sorry. I'm in a similar situation because the car that I bought to get me through university died right after I moved into an apartment that I could barely afford. Hello line of credit!

It's really hard to find a job that pays enough to afford rent here, so really check your options!

Economics with a specialization in petroleum economics. The kicker is that I live in Alberta, Canada's oil boner, and still can't get an entry-level job.
