Your thoughts?

i see it as alot more than that. i find it incredibly disturbing that displaced and desparate adults are taking jobs they are grossly overqualified for simply because it's the only thing out there. i see this story more as a reminder of the sad state of our economy. we're in the shitter... good jobs are near impossible to find without experience, and when you have alread-experienced people in the entry-level positions (only because they have no other choice), where does it leave those who need entry level positions to gain the experience needed to advance within a career? it leaves them jumping from one job to another, desparate that they'll find their niche in an ever-shrinking mire of garbage that is the american job market.
