There are plenty of degreed folks including ones with MAs and Phds who can't find work even in the well paying STEM fields. Many of those jobs have been outsourced. And grads from college wind up in "no paying" intern jobs. Agreed that minimum wage jobs weren't meant to be careers. Those wer

I think you're right about this Vaj. She does have her say...I wouldn't call it "telling him off" exactly, but she does clearly state how she feels and what she is observing. How does MMY react? "This is wrong thinking." What does Judith say? "I think it is RIGHT thinking Maharishi." That's as
