Ryan Anderson, a graduate student in anthropology, has written a piece bemoaning the fate that looms before him.
“We spent about a decade learning how to become academics, only to realize the dream has already passed,” he said. “We’re all trained for positions that don’t exist. We’ve been prepared for a way of life that is rapidly vanishing before our eyes (the secure, tenured academic).”
Um, did you vote for Obama, Ryan? Most academic types did.
Imagine you’re a small business owner in Seattle who invested his life in his little restaurant and just got hit with a $15 minimum wage.
Imagine you own a medium size business and are now going be stuck with carrying your employees’ health care?
They are pretty much feeling like you are right now. Mull that around.
By the way, what exactly do you think was the ultimate source of the funding for those anthropology jobs and such? You know the kind of thing that gets kicked down the priority list when dealing with a $17.5 trillion debt?
