Anyone recently get an invite for an interview? Seems kinda quiet lately.

I'm building a house and every single sub that shows up complains about how little they are getting.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the state with the highest dollar value from welfare is Hawaii, with the max being around 49 K per year. The numbers haven't changed much since 1995, by the way.
The facts that I've seen regarding a college degree, which are easy enough to find, show that for a person between the ages of 25-32, a high school grad earns 62 cents for every dollar a college grad earns. The employment rate for a college graduate is also higher. College isn't some sort of cure all, and you can certainly find exceptions, but it does provide more opportunities for people than just a high school diploma.

Gross pay of a college grad is much higher, however, take home pay with overall benefits, is about the same as someone who doesn't take the time to go to college.
Big money jobs require you to be either a licensed professional, or in business for yourself. Neither of these require a college degree, however for professions like attorney, doctor, etc, it is a prerequisite for their specific trade school.
As far as thread drift goes, you guys are getting bent out of shape for nothing. Delta has about 18K apps on file, and they need almost all of those pilots. So, everyone on this thread that applied, and is qualified, will get the call. It may take 5 years though. When you get the call, you absolutely need to go to a professional prep service.

You have seen the statistics, but they don't tell the whole story. The average high school drop out on government cheese is making just as much if not more than current college grads. Welfare right now pays the equivalent of a $70K a year job in benefits, and after 4 years of ObamaDon'tCare, it's going to creep into the six figure mark. Voting for a living is the future, and college grads are paying for it all.

When I went to CQ a few months ago, the instructor said they were putting 20-40 new hires on the 7ER out of DTW and NYC. I see them on the seniority list now.
Does anyone know if they are going to continue to do this, or was it a one time thing?
