...The One-Minute Pundit

Though many of HENRY HONEST!!!!!'s commenters are morons (not surprising; many of his articles are moronic) we found two that do not qualify. Henry ran a chart documenting how so many of the "college-educated" (17 million, to be "precise") are stuck in menial work, which occasioned these comments which would definitely not qualify their sources as morons:

1.
It also highlights the mismatch between the American worker with the skills needed for tomorrow's jobs.

Wait...I thought menial, low-paying jobs were the jobs of tomorrow??

How many times do we have to hear the lies about "not having the skills". Aren't these stats enough to tell you that even college "skilled" people are stuck doing unskilled work?

HINT: Even skilled jobs are going to emerging markets.


I think "toddd" has gotten at the heart of RENDELLISM!

But more touching:

2.
The individual stories of these 17 million people may be enlightening.

My college-educated neighbor -- a bartender -- purchased his condo cash, works 4 days a week, and refuses management positions whenever offered.

My ex-girlfriend, who went to Syracuse on a sports scholarship, is happy as a waitress and enjoys the flexibility. She used to own a successful gift shop, but felt the 16-hours per day didn't warrant the extra income.

My highschool buddy finished college, and now has a job as a school-bus driver in New York State. He's happy, and prefers to spend more time with his kids and coach after-school sports while he referees hockey on the side.

College ain't just about money.
