Paging Sally Struthers! Our children are in trouble.
ThinkProgress is flipping out over its bombshell report revealing that — gasp! — college graduates don’t always get to go right into their dream jobs. Just how bad is the situation? According to ThinkProgress, it works out to one unwanted job every five minutes!

Oh, the humanity! More from ThinkProgress’ crackerjack exposé:
In an interview with the Huffington Post, a recent college graduate, exasperated, said she’d take any job offered. “My ultimate goal right now is just to get a full-time job that has benefits; I don’t care if it’s in my field,” she said.
Whoa, whoa, whoa … does this mean that life isn’t fair? And sometimes you don’t get things handed to you? Jeeves, fetch our tiny violin!

@lachlan @thinkprogress Taking out thousands of dollars in student loans for a liberal arts degree was a bad idea? Color me surprised.
