Students, graduates swarm BYU job fair

It's a little harsh to say that these college students are funding their educations off of welfare, don't you think? Everyone is in a different situation and if they are trying to better that situation by getting an education then good for them.
The first poster's crtisim comes from his failed understanding of Frederic Bastiat's "The Law." He needs to go back and reread the book and more fully understand what it is the author is saying. Because the author would not critize the IRS, although he would heavily critize the congress.
It is time someone went back to school.
Frederick Bastiat's the law and Economic Sophisms are excellent books. I recommend them to all.
The point is, if you don't want IHC to hire foreign workers, compete with them. Do the job they do at the salary they do, and I'm sure IHC will be happy to take you on.
I am involved with a new high-tech company that was built to do humanitarian aid. If you are interested in Purpose, Health, and Prosperity�part or full time�this is an opportunity to do all three while building your own business. Join us in helping sponsor children and providing for their education, medical, and nutritional needs!
Search on "StarShipp Enterprises" (with the quotes) to learn more about becoming an Independent Humanitarian�.

For all but the last 7 years, I've been a software engineer since graduating from BYU in 1982. After the "dot.com" bust of 2001, work was so tight I decided to attempt early retirement. I was able to do OK living on my investments until a year ago. Like so many others, after peaking in Oct. 2007, I stayed too long at the party and got knocked down more than 50%. So, like so many others, I’m now desperately seeking a job to keep me afloat.
As a 58 year-old who hasn't done any software engineering in 7 years, I doubt I would have competed any better among the many recent college grads than I have for the last four months in the general job market. But, I would have been there to make the attempt.
I hope this is more widely publicized next time.
