the guerrilla job search
well they say the economy's kicking up.
say jobs are back on the upturn.
unfortunately, i just don't buy it.
dealing with college-bound kids nearly everyday -- young Veterans included, it seems there's alota living with mom and pop.
granny's garage.
buddy's couch.
alota survival via Financial Aid.
and Student Loans.
but i gotta wonder -- what the hell are they gonna do once the cash cow peeters out?
that post-9/11 GI Bill runs it's course and you're left with an Associates Degree in Communications…
or heck, left with a few credits and whole bunch of student loans.
$80,000 hanging over your head and a Craigslist job search.
scary stuff.
i know...
made me think of an article i wrote for www.militarywallet.com awhile back.
by any means necessary.
