I think it’s the best place to get personalized, reliable and quick advice. They rank the best laptops in different categories based on both experts and users’ reviews. They also have a cool personalization slider that lets you optimize the results based on the criteria that are most important to YOU.

I did some internships and did well at them. I actually was entrusted to work and contribute to the companies I interned for, which is rare since a lot of interns mostly sit and watch or do menial tasks. I don’t want to generalize, of course.

Because of my experience I was so excited to take on the job market. I developed and managed my own own business part time and have been doing well at it, but it lacks stability, so I want to find something more stable. I have experience in Microsoft Office, FCP, SEO, Web development, copy editing, writing in AP style, and social media marketing, ect.

Unfortunately most jobs require at least 3 years of steady experience working in these areas. Since internships only last a few mos at best, this type of experience in-school is nearly impossible unless a student is already working in the field he/she wants a degree in.

I "thought" that with all my so-called experience I would fare well vs. other grads. lol nope. I’m feeling a little intimidated, because the job openings these days require employees to be proficient with skills that span across multiple majors. For example, someone is expected to be highly skilled in web development and at the same time needs to be experienced with copy editing or Excel. Most degrees do not offer this diversity unless you’re a multiple major.

Had I of known this, I would of expanded my education to other genres, but you’re encouraged to stay specific to your major and are even required to attain access codes to take certain classes, which limits you from being able to expand your experience in other fields anyway.

A lot of office work that requests a Comm degree also requires proficient use of Excel and PowerPoint. Honestly, even though I have a pretty good grasp of ppt. and limited experience with Excel, no class within my major has EVER offered classes that focuses on learning these skills.

I’m scared and overwhelmed about what to do. I have published writing samples from a 20,000+ readership I used to write for, but it all seems to be a bunch of hooey to employers, since these don’t even seem to be the skills they are looking for.

What do I do? I’m afraid that my hard work in college and diligence in my internships was a waste and that I would have been better off getting a vocational degree?

Please advise me. Is my degree useless?
I just went to Subway and the manager told me she has a BA, but was forced to work there since college didn’t prepare her for the real-world job market. lol how encouraging.

No way, you absolutely did the right thing going to school and getting your degree. Those internships are valuable, it is just a really tight market. Get with your career center and review/tune up your resume, do some mock interviews, then reach out the jobs you interned with. After that utilize your career resource center and network as much as you can. I am pretty sure there are some local young professional groups you can join. Volunteer so you can meet more people (networking). Keep plugging away and you will land a very good job. Are you open to relocation, consider that if the job market is tight in your area.

"By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, and in order to establish a Working Group on Financial Markets, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Establishment. (a) There is hereby established a Working Group on Financial Markets (Working Group). The Working Group shall be composed of:

(1) the Secretary of the Treasury, or his designee;
(2) the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or his designee;
(3) the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or his designee; and
(4) the Chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or her designee.

(b) The Working Group shall consult, as appropriate, with representatives of the various exchanges, clearinghouses, self-regulatory bodies, and with major market participants to determine private sector solutions wherever possible.

Section 3. Administration. (c) To the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of funds therefore, the Department of the Treasury shall provide the Working Group with such administrative and support services as may be necessary for the performance of its functions."

As a technical analyst, is there any one thing or indicator that you would make a trading decision from and dump a considerable portion of your money into? Neither would a fund worth billions of dollars. The market does however seek volume, and catches the greatest number of people off guard and on the wrong side at the most inopportune times. This is not some conspiracy or death squad or alien force.

The markets move in stairstep fashion, not straight in one direction for weeks at a time. If the PPT existed, the 2008 plunge would not have occurred, or the PPT would have been put out of business by supporting a down market, and they would no longer exist.

Every time the market drops and then "mysteriously" rallies, knowing individuals look at each other and nod, seeing the handiwork of the PPT (plunge protection team). I hope you’re not talking about a Pink Poogle Toy.

Let’s say it straight out. The plunge protection team does not exist. It is an urban myth. Let me step by step prove it does not exist, and see if we can learn something in the process.
