[QUOTE="Dex01, post: 1730992, member: 43242"] Ah, cut the guy a little slack. I suspect he probably finished his undergraduate degree right around the early 80's recession during the first Reagan administration. Statistically speaking, regardless of your educational background, your odds of economic "success" are much less likely if you finish college during a recession (I have a link to a pretty interesting article in the Atlantic from some years back if anybody is interested.) By the time he finished his "advanced" degree he probably figured making the switch wasn't worth it, as Fedex was still a decent middle class job. The guy is annoying, but I guess his professional discontent isn't all self-inflicted (although, I'm guessing his personality doesn't help). I knew many college grads that started with the company during various periods of marginal economic development, and they all wound up begrudgingly making a career out of it. [/QUOTE]
