What exactly are "jobs for the 21st century"?
Since being a software architect/engineer/manager is soooooo '90's?

Should I practice asking "you want fries with that?"

6. Here are your options.... from the country that wants a "peaceful" world
Edited on Thu Oct-14-04 08:33 AM by Medialize
just look at how they hawk for people to fill the ranks of a government addicted to militarism. Perhaps the wicked downturn in the economy and the erosion of the social fabric in Amurka will herd the masses to these organizations... much in the way MM details in 911. Perhaps the downturn in the economy and the jobs market IS BY DESIGN. Peace is not profitable. War is.

10. Man that bit pissed me off.
I can't believe he said you can go to community college to get the training you need for the jobs of the 21st century.


nevermind the bachelor's or master's you might have in computer science. that degree's not worht the paper it's printed on. we're in the 21st century.

and we're workin' hard.


more like hardly working, assface.

14. That's easy - a job on one of the many Internets
With so many, they just don't have enough people to handle them all. As well, moon travel and hydrogen car building are solid, logical careers to look into.

If all else fails, get a job erecting the huge statues of the 10 Commandments on government buildings. You can even temp as a human shield at abortion clinics.

Why, the possibilities are endless in Bush's world!

a Luke Skywalker fighter pilot as shrub repeated over and over again these new 21st century jobs. He didn't give one example to fill in this talking point.
