During the Great Depression College grads. waited tables and worked on on construction gangs. People with PHDS drove cabs and mowed lawns. I worry about my own College age kids. I have one graduating next summer. I told him get in Grad. school but he wants a break. I took such a break I'm still on it 40 yrs later. That was a mistake.
Let's start a new trend old guys back to grad school. I was thinking something that easily translates into a job like music history... j/k
Ok, I'll get my PHD then in Punk Rock artists I threw out of my Nightclub in the 80's. I liked Henry Rollins though. He had a show every Sunday @ my club called Hardcore Sunday. The kids had a ball. Broken glass an inch deep. I had to wrap everything breakable in foam, etc. The Police showed up one Sunday and were awed by the Mosh pit. Ironically, after 10 shows not one real injury. Had the whole world of Punk in that summer. Seems like a distant dream now. These same kids probably trashed the economy over the next 20 yrs. ;) Make no mistake about Reagan Youth ruined us.
