40, nobody cares about high school football. And I could recruit top players to my school too if I promised them half the female student population would willingly sleep with them whenever they wanted.....what about your pro teams again? oh yeah, thats right, they blow.

Higher education in Texas!? I thought TX was known for the best little whorehouse, chainsaw massacre & Anna Nicole Smith! jk TX does have some good schools & Baylor & MD Anderson r great med centers.

Some companies won't hire people if they are "too qualified". which is stupid. I guess the world wants idiots running it.

They have to pay people more who have more qualifications. It's all about the $$$.

Some people here are so stupid. She's clearly over-qualified. It's like going to work at McDonald's with a Ph.D.

The biggest problem with overqualified ppl is not the pay-ppl r willing to accept less pay in this economy-but rather that they soon get unhappy & unmotivated with the job, & secondly, they r sometimes difficult to manage since they think they know more than their managers. Nobody wants an employee who reluctantly takes a lower level job, & definitely not a know-it-all who know how to do things better b/c they have those degrees!
