Students: Do not get a humanities degree. Especially do not get a humanities degree that costs more than $100,000. It won't get you anywhere and you will end up saddled with debt, searching for a job, any job, actually unqualified for retail and food service jobs because of lack of experience in these areas, spending your few free hours reading the latest Don DeLillo novel while you ponder your fate in this cruel world and contemplate cleaning someone's apartment in the nude for money.

This is no longer the America in which somebody with a good work ethic and a modicum of native intelligence can make it.

Of course, this is just bitterness about the job search that certainly will pass soon.
