Graduation approaching

Spring is struggling to approach, the trees are so bare that if it were not for the birds chirping you would swear it was January 3. Even with 50 degree weather peaking its head out maybe once or twice a week, I can not imagine that anyone graduating in May can possibly be hopeful about their degree. So many people I know are so NOT working in the fields they hoped to. A few of their kids are just graduating and getting ready to simply come back home. Yeah, so there are some instances where it's a three people household (all with degrees) and well - only one is working!

A line from Richard Yates 1961 novel, Revolutionary Road  just about sums up the good ol' US of A..."You want to play house, you got to have a job. You want to play very nice house, then you got to have a job you don't like. Great. This is the way ninety-eight-point-nine per cent of the people work things out." 

But hell,  today some of us can't find a job we don't like.
