美国大学生对就业前景失望 5万美元售卖文凭-凯发k8官网

 

stephanie ritter told buzzfeed that she was ³ her room of high school and college ⁴ when she came across her florida state university diploma. "i thought this piece of paper has so much worth to so many people, but for a theater major, it couldn't mean less," she said. "i'm doing the exact same things and probably getting paid the exact same amount as people that dropped out ⁵ through ⁶ year, except i'm still $40,000 in debt and they're, well, not."

 

ritter said that she graduated college in 2011, and now works as an assistant. she said she found her job prospects with a theater degree to be lacking.

 

she is not the only one who has had trouble finding major-related work after graduation. according to a recent study by the federal reserve bank of new york, only 27% of college graduates have jobs that are closely related to their major.

 

dissatisfied graduates have tried to sell their diplomas before. but stephanie is selling more than a diploma: she's selling her experience. in her description on ebay, stephanie describes exactly what "experience" includes:

 

-a tour of florida state university including everywhere you would have gone/eaten/partied in your four years at fsu.

-access to all of my college memories/facebook albums for 6 months!

-a show (on me) at the fsu school of theatre (on opening night if time permits!)

-a tour of all of my favorite publixes including sweet tea at each location!!

 

despite her current ⁷, ritter said she would choose to go to college again. but she said she would change a few things, like studying in a city where she could make more money to support herself, and, most important, finding a queer-friendly college:

 

"fsu was great, but there were, like, 1,000 straight white men for every queer person," she said. "i didn't realize how important being around other gay people would be until i recently joined an amazing group of mostly queer women and thought, oh! this is what i could've felt like in college?"
