Yes! Especially? ...
Yes! Especially? the last scene :D

Oooh, that? hurts.
Oooh, that? hurts.

Another reason (and ...
Another reason (and I am guilty of this too, but I am trying to learn my options), is that we seem to think in terms of "finding a job" instead of creating a job. It occurred to me a few months ago that the idea of finding an employer to give me a job has become a? lifestyle. It seems like a few generations ago it would not have been a bid deal for someone to just open up shop and go in business for oneself, but now it seems like leap into the unknown.

That isn't the ...
That isn't the problem.While there are jobs that used to require only bachelors that now require graduate? degrees,if someone assumed that their dream job requires only a bachelor, it is because they didn't research their career, not because of a change in the economy.The issue with graduate degrees are a)are design to deepen an understanding in an area,not to prepare for a career and b)there is an oversupply of Graduates(I am thinking humanities,but it appears to be true for some sciences too).

Guess who is taking ...
Guess who is taking the lead? after 50 years?

The paper grading ...
The paper grading one is especially? true. Don't do it kids. You'll have plenty of chances to throw you life away when you're older.

Yes, it is.?
Yes, it is.?

If you are a grad ...
If you are a grad student and don't see this? to be hilarious, then you will really have a hard time being in grad school.

lol?
lol?

@ ...
@lollylopseleventeen whats so hilarious about :10?

@hoopteechooptee ...
@hoopteechooptee thats all we can do? to procrastinate.

Hahaha mad kiddies?
Hahaha mad kiddies?

@eng3d The Simpsons ...
@eng3d The Simpsons does not represent the perspective of Americans as a whole. This is Matt Groening's opinion. What is awful is that this has some truth to it. In America, people who go to grad school and even who get a master's degree or a doctorate degree can't seem to get a decent job. Now that a master's is required for so many jobs where a bachelor's used to suffice, and before that high? school graduation used to be enough - WHERE DOES IT END? Everyone has to get a PhD to work at BK?

Now that i'm older, ...
Now that i'm older, 00:10 is so? much more hilarious.

USA : Smart is bad, ...
USA : Smart is bad, genius are nerd, school degree is more than enough. They call it failure. Asian : Smart is good,genious are popular, school degree is not enough. They call it success. And guess? who is taking the lead?.

@DynamoK92 I guess ...
@DynamoK92 I guess you could do biological and chemical weapons too but thats not so helpfull. But if your doing a post graduate degree in the humanities...? blah! and blah!

@DynamoK92 Think of ...
@DynamoK92 Think of all the amazing properties some animals/plants/microbes have on the planet, you can do something with that! like spider silk, or fish containing antifreez proteins, flurescent cats? (useless but fun), and even like in on of the simpsons episodes, Tomaco (probably unethical - but you can do it!) You could engineer edible plants so they contain more nutrients. Genetic counseling thats something else you can do. Clinical biochemist thats something else (pays well too).

@DynamoK92 Well if ...
@DynamoK92 Well if your talking about a biology degree... your f**ked. But if your talking about biochemistry, molecular biology? or something close to that like microbiology you can do a lot of things for one you can be hired at all the medical biotechs (Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squib), the more technical companies that deal in lab products (I consider it boring but hey my opinion), then there are companies that deal in industrial biotechnologies like 4th generation biofuels (Exxon, Chevron).

@SuperEndospore ...
@SuperEndospore other than education what can you do? with a bio degree?

@DynamoK92 Insane ...
@DynamoK92 Insane maybe... but mad? Never! There's to much guacamole in the world for me? to be mad.

@SuperEndospore mad ...
@SuperEndospore mad??

Grad students out ...
Grad students out of touch with the real world? Or maybe just more in touch with it? Meh I can do plant and microbial GMOs, transfer whole biosynthetic pathways and make DNA my b***h so hey, I thinks its great. It might be that jealous idiots useless f**ks would like to think grad students failed at life when? they look at theirs? I dunno... okay overlap PCR time. Im on a horse.

These are just my ...
These are just my thoughts but it does seem? right because grad students are so focused on writing papers and reading textbooks that they lose touch with the real world.

"homer goes to ...
"homer goes to college"? is the best college depiction on the simpsons.

@byunboy yes and ...
@byunboy yes and god help you if? you do a fellowship *cracks whip*

Fortunately I'm ...
Fortunately I'm only getting a? Master's. lol

Mocking grad? ...
Mocking grad? students... That's a paddlin'.

This is so true. ...
This is so true. Grad student is a person who knows statistics so well but fail to apply it to his/her? life...
