Oxford,Cambridge- no thanks! Glad handing salespeople are a dime a dozen from the UK. During a global depression no one needs to hire someone to drink their wine all night long. The party is over fellows.

need we mention the unemployment rate among HS DROP outs? . . . or note that starting salaries for college grads exceeds those of HS Grads . . . combined with the "globalization" and outsourcing, it's a tough market for all labor.

Globalization baby! Why hire a college grad from the UK or American when you can get one from Bangladesh at 1/3 the cost? He or she will work longer hours and require less benefits than those "western kids of privilege". After another decade or so of growing unemployment for our children, you'll see the demand (and votes) for a greater exclusionary policy in the workplace. Folks will be begging for more government protections, not less.
