Was the college trying to drive people to kill her? First point out the sad statistics of getting a job right now and then plug for money? In my opinion, reminding graduates of their college loans (which are probably already stressing everyone out before she opened her big fat mouth) is crass and ruins the special occasion of graduation.
Other than the division of employment and Goodwill, the only places I can think of trying are staffing companies and temp agencies, both usually offer more short term than long term, but you might luck out or after working for a while a temporary job could become a full-time one. Also, depending on state laws, substitute teacher might be an option -- my state requires a certain number of college credits to sub and a couple other basic things.
If it was, I would consider a strategic move. She's a horrible president. She also tends to lie through her teeth about school policy (that, or she honestly doesn't know it).
I've looked at a couple of staffing companies but I'm not sure about them. They seem so... fake. Like they're hiding something, and I've encountered enough fraud and scamming in my job search to feel comfortable taking the risk. I am also curious about being a substitute teacher, but apart from simply not knowing the laws about it here, it wouldn't provide any sort of stable job. Also, I don't have a car, which would make it very hard to travel to the different schools on short notice.
Okay, I feel terribly ignorant for asking this. You're a history major, right?, so what kind of jobs are usually available in a normal economy to that field? I mean, teacher or professor or writer, I'd assume, as well as museum staff (e.g. curator or researcher), but is that all

No problem! There's really no reason you should know about history major jobs. That's the problem, though... even history majors don't really know what jobs are available. Teaching and museum work are the obvious ones, as is writing (though it's impossibly to start out that way). And archival work, wherever that happens. But there aren't really enough of those jobs to supply us

The mid-west and the south have a better cost of living. When we lived in Georgia after my husband got out of the Army, we were able to live on my pay and I was only $7/hour then. But that was 5 years ago. The north-east and the west coast are without fail the most expensive regions. I mean, for what we bought our cute little fixer-upper for, we could have bought a huge house with all the amenities in a state like Arizona or Kansas.
Best of luck with the job search!!
They gave that woman a doctorate? In what? Business? *snigger*
Fear not, I am not she. I am the same in RL as I am online, if a little slower with the witty remarks. I have been known to come up with a clever comeback five minutes after a topic is over and to save it in my memory banks for the next time the topic comes up months down the road. xD
...The Northeast and West Coast are the only places I've lived. D: I don't think I'd be a terribly good cultural match for the South or Midwest (not that there's anywhere in the US I would be, but whatever) but if they really are that much more livable I may have to look into them. I am amazed that living off $7 an hour was livable for two people anywhere in the US, even 5 years ago.
You know, I looked her up out of curiosity. You're basically right. D.A. in economics, MBA, BS in business administration ...Considering the attitudes of business, this would explain her inability to understand concepts like morality and morale. -_-
Haha! Well, as long as the topic does eventually come up again someday. :p
