It's really not that hard to find a job if you have good social skills, and I don't think I've ever seen anybody be turned down from a fast food restaurant for being over qualified for the job. Has anyone else been turned down from a job for being overqualified? Because it sounds like b.s. nonsense.
Anyway, all the good jobs take connections to get.
I could never work like you guys, from a crummy Home Depot or retail job for the rest of my life. It's absolutely fine and dandy if you're putting yourself through school or looking for your big career path, since that's all the time you have available to dedicate to a job. But if you're working home depot full-time you obviously made some poor decisions or are making poor decisions.
Of course, some people are just unlucky, but everybody says they're the unlucky one so you can never tell.
Oh boo frickin' hoo. I had to put myself through college, pay for tuition and expenses. Mind you, I'm sure everything is a little cheaper in Toronto, but you hardly have a hard life because you have to *gasp* work around a schedule.Im going full time to school and my parents said they were going to stop sending me money since they said it seemed to them i just pissed it away and had too much free time, so being that im in school in nyc where everything is so fucking expensive i had to get a crappy job at starbucks on top of full time school schedule, being employed sucks right now, i would kill to be unemployed again.
No one cares.

That's the point dimwit.
about you? yeah, you're right

Thats you, not me. School full time with 18 credits is enough work for me without working a job also, i have nothing against working but on top of 18 credits of a hard major, no thanks.

I had a friend whose father was not allowed to work at a 7-11 during the summer because he was overqualified (he was a school teacher in MD, highly underpaid and could not secure one of the slots as a summer school teacher). I was let go from an engineering job because when it came time for them to negotiate pay with me, they said that they couldn't afford to pay me what I need to live, and that they needed someone with less experience and education who was willing to work cheaper.
Think about it. You are a 35 year old manager of a Taco Bell. Like Brad here.
Now, does Brad want some kid with a college education coming in and questioning what he says? Of course not, Brad wants to hire some dumb 16 year old kid who he can push around. Brad also has to think of job security. If Brad hires someone smarter than him, who knows what may happen! This kid may be his boss someday! Fuck that, Brad is hiring the dumbest mother fucker he can.

Mykozo made a valid point. "Overqualified" is another way of saying, "You are smarter than me and could take over my position within a week. Go away."
