Is anyone else really curious what sort of degree the author of this article has? I just graduated in May and almost everyone I know with a CS or engineering degree found jobs pretty easily. It was only the bottom of the barrel that struggled, and even most of those people still managed to find something in their field.

I was wondering the exact same thing. That BA in a philosophy wasn't such a good idea after all, eh skippy? :D

I wouldn't say that. It's helping him expound upon the entitled morass that is his life. He'll have reached true zen when he realizes he could've saved $40K and said "Fuck You." to the world without college.

Oddly enough, Philosophy is a poor choice here. When measured, philosophy graduates end up doing quite well on the median, possibly because it is a path to law school for many but also because it teaches many skills that end up being useful in the workplace.

I suggest media arts. :)
