Six degrees of separation:
A world in which the more university education you have, the more you find yourself separated from your dream job.
-----
"I was so close to landing my dream gig after my first degree, because of an acqaintance who knew the editor at Daily Variety," said a friend of ours. "But that fell through, and after a long slog I went back and got a second degree in photojournalism and now I'm a barista at Starbucks. I'm thinking if I go Ivy League for my third, maybe they'll promote me to manager. "

If I had only gone Ivy league
maybe I wouldn't be holding this squeegee
I make coffee for a living
It's never really a very Happy Thanksgiving.
