So I'm sitting in a coffee shop with Indeed pulled up on my computer, as it has been so often for the past few weeks that I should probably just make it my homepage, when I come upon an internship in social media.
Pay: $13/hour
Required: Bachelor's Degree

This, my friends, is why millennials are not buying diamonds. Because I just spent four years and thousands of dollars my parent's money on a degree that, according to this posting, is fit to earn me exactly one dollar above minimum wage.
But! Not to worry. While job prospects sink, the threat of nuclear war started by a whiny Cheeto in diapers has never been higher. Therefor, I have taken it upon myself to brainstorm some helpful post-apocalyptic professions for those of us who just aren't finding what we need on the local job boards.
