Being in the tech industry and looking for a job about 4 months ago I know they are right about there being a shortage. The problem is college isn't experience. I don't even put my degree on my resume because it's not related but I had a bidding war going on.
I was only half way looking. The boss made me mad one day and I sent a few resumes out and found out that the pay had moved a lot in four years. That said, liberals run colleges.
You shouldn't be shocked at the price of anything.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
