This is sort of a naive statement from the piece "This included young people in marketing and finance, two departments that do not bring in revenue or keep the factories running." Without marketing your business will be filled with the sound of chirping crickets...without sales (brought in through some sort of marketing) you have no business...ignore this at your own risk. Without the finance guys (girls) you will never sustain meaningful growth. I'm with you that all degrees are not created equal...and yes lawyers are having a bad time right now...but lets keep it in perspective.
True, but the author's intended meaning to me was about the glut of folks in those careers. We'll always need people in just about every career field, even temporarily in those slowly dying out, but there is more of a limit nowadays than there once was in many areas. Part of this is the bad state of the economy, part of it is outsourcing and part of it is increased productivity along with automation. What was more surprising to me about this article was where it is found. Given the more liberal bent of the site I was surprised to see an article like this.
Quote:I had to laugh at the other story currently promoted next to this one..."happiness is a banned assault rifle" which then shows a picture of a 7 shot Colt pistol who's design is over 100 years old...Do they just not care to be seen as factual and educated on the topics they write about? How can you maintain any sense of responsible jounalism when you repeatedly demonstrate a basic lack of information about the simplest parts of the issues?
Meh. I tend to ignore those of a more liberal bent who talk about guns yet are completely ignorant of them
