Today, really desperate to get a job, I filled out an application for a dishwashing job. My application got tossed out, because I'm not an economics major like the other guy applying for the same job. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

I know that going to college can help you get a job, but I didn't realize that economics were a part of washing dishes

He would know how the supply of soap met the demand of water, you wouldn't. A mechanical engineering degree would really come in handy, especially if you had done masters work in fluid mechanics.

Sorry to hear that bud, I suggest trying to find another job maybe

Try a call center job they are terrible but normally hire everyone that can show up and do the job

sucks

That's harsh since dishwashing is an entry level position

With an economics degree, he has more than enough potential to move up, and maybe that's what they were looking at...

ouch, i feel your pain, everywhere i go tells me that theres no job openings

If he's an economics major, how come he's unemployed?

Yes I am sure that is the truth, you are such a loser

If he's willing to get an Econ degree, he's probably more dedicated than you, which means he'll show up more.

I don't see the problem here if he has a major and you don't it shows your employers that he does work hard since he worked hard to get his degree they don't know about you (unless you have majored in some thing which is not stated.)
