Quote:Well I didn't want to say it, but nobody actually thinks those jobs are sustainable do they? And again I wasn't crapping on the jobs. I actually did a lot of work assembling photocopiers some years ago. It was summer work and paid okay for the time...about $8/hr.

The issue of underemployment is rapidly moving to the forefront of our economy. A BA and 3 years of experience now barrs many entry level positions, and that experience only comes from unpaid internships that cost a person years of upward mobility had they been spent in a trade. We will always need service jobs, but you can't base a society on them, we need to invest in the other sectors before we have another Depression level labor crisis.
