#1 What a great idea! National Maliase the Sequel.
The original worked so well for the peanut farmer, I hope it works as well for Monsuer Kerry.

#2 WHen it comes to the "traditional" misery index, Dubya's doing fine. Thus, they have to concoct a tailor-made index that will make Dubya look bad, while sparing carter and clinton.

#3 I just got my monthly Veterans rag and they were asking (last month) for any positive inputs from veterans on JF Kerry. Guess what? None were sent to the editor! Come to think of it, has he actually talk to any Veterans group or active duty personnel? Aside from the rent-a-mob and DNC koolaid drinkers is there any groundswell with any veterans group to support Kerry? Sorry to be off topic but so is the âMisery Index.â If you go to college and get a ârealâ degree you should have no trouble finding gainful employment after graduation. You might have to move out of your parents house but there are jobs out there. If you spent four years getting a degree in Spanish, Womenâs Studies, Art history, or Psychology you might the job market a bit âsoftâ at this time. In that case you may want to stay in college a couple extra semesters and get a double major in Science, Engineering, Computer Science, or Teaching. All of these are high job growth sectors in the next TEN years.

#5 Not sure what you mean by that halfempty. But I wanted to say that if you don't look at the end worth of your studies then your are a fool. Being a Art Major might be fun. Being able to discuss (and dicern) paintings might win you some chick points but there are damn few jobs in that sector. Same thing with a Degree in Women's Studies. Great if you are joining NOW, but it won't buy you that new house or pay off your college loans.

#6 I ran across an article on the Internet a couple of years ago that matched degrees awarded with the number of jobs available specifically mentioning a requirement for that degree. Unfortunately, I can't find it at the moment. I'll try to do a search over the next couple of days to see if I can relocate it. One of the surprises was the number of degrees being issued for which there was not a SINGLE JOB matching the degree requirements - several thousand annually. There were dozens of listings showing hundreds of graduates annually, while the number of available jobs were less than a dozen. Those are pretty poor odds. The thing is, most college counsellors know this, and can steer a student in the right direction - IF THE STUDENT IS SMART ENOUGH TO ASK. Unforunately, with our dumbed-down "education" establishment...
