Something that always makes me smile is when I get accused of not being able to get a job, or "cut it" back home by a fellow expat living and working in Korea. F### you Yaya. |
Whatever, loser, get back to your fries and I bet that you mispelled the expletive, too. |

I disagree, I've known people who got plum jobs with their useless degrees even in the worst of job markets. Some just know what to say at interviews that land them jobs, even if their work history is filled with job-hopping, or just have that magic touch. And well, that magic touch isn't innate, you can learn how to write a better resume, do better in interviews and the like. |
That's right. And a guy like "yaya", with his innate charm and ability to impress people certainly would have no problem back home landing a job pulling down six figures.
Oh wait, he came back to Korea. |

At the cost of sounding like a broken record, please get the psychiatric help you so desperately need. |

Too funny.
You spout off crap about "burger flippers" constantly, yet the only liberal arts degree that might possibly produce more fry jockeys than yours is "BA in Communications".
You are the one in need of psychiatric help. |

Wow Yaya, what an intelligent assumption! I came all the way from the States on a paid plane ticket to flip burgers in Mcdonalds for 3000 Won an hour. Giggle.

Isn't it interesting how Yaya starts a thread-within-a-thread by ad-hominem attacks then tells everyone to "get a life"? |

Uh...I'm not so sure about that. Art history is one that might qualify. |

I know of other successful sociology majors so screw your retarded theory about it. I'm sure your manager will give you time off to see a shrink.
And I guess you and xinghyman all of you are burger flippers since you find it necessary to defend them all the time. |

Yeah and I'll bet they're back in the West making a successful living there.  |

I have a BA Joint Honours in French and German. I am very disappointed by the opportunities open to language graduates.
If anyone was to ask me whether I thought it was worth going to university today, I would say yes if you are thinking about any vocational subject e.g. medicine, dentistry. If not, you would be wasting your time.

I completely agree with you!! School teachers and university lecturers always preched to not think of a university degree as a meal ticket, BUT what a wast e of time and money it is if you don't think that way! |
