Played pool at the University of Michigan today with my brother. While we were playing it occurred to me how cushy of a job the poolroom attendant had. She basically had to sit in a chair and very rarely hand people a set of balls or take payment. The rest of the time she was either on facebook or watching a movie.

Getting paid to watch movies and surf the net isn’t half bad. Most of the Umich student jobs are like that, and they all pay over $9 an hour.

Thing is, the majority of the graduates from Umich aren’t going to be able to find jobs as good as the student jobs when they graduate.

My friends brother graduated from a very expensive film school a year ago. He had a part time contract film job for a couple months and since then nothing. He now works at BestBuy.

All that expensive college to get a job a 16 year old could have, and it doesn’t pay as well as a Umich student job and he actually has to do things other than sit in one place and read.

It goes to show how utterly worthless college is for most people when the jobs they can get working for the university while they’re students are better than the jobs than can get when they graduate.
