Extreme worker shortage looming in Canada.

[JasonParis]

Many of us have very much wasted our time going to university, in many cases due to parental pressure. Meanwhile, the skilled trades are employing like mad.

I'm starting to believe that...sort of. I've got two BA's and a College Diploma and have been looking (on and off) for a new job for three years and nothing. The few I've been offered required a massive pay cut, but in general I don't even get to the offering stage. I rarely even get called for an interview, despite applying for 5-20 jobs a month. Everyone says my CV is great (experts have looked at it) and I think I interview well, but still nada. General arts degrees be damned!

I'll feel differently about this tomorrow, I really will.
