AYRT

I didn't say it was nothing. My grandparents were teachers and I have nothing *but* respect for educators because they do a lot, and they do it for shit pay. I was just pointing out that teaching =/= automatically mean they have a masters.

That said, I know people who work in retail who have bachelors [and even masters] degrees, and I fully acknowledge that the level of someone's education isn't an indictor of someone's worth or intelligence. So, uh...you might want to take the whole 'walmart job = nothing' attitude elsewhere.

Yeah, when I worked retail, a lot of my coworkers had advanced degrees and were working there because they burned out.

[(Anonymous)]

I...can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. If it isn't, I'm sorry that it happened to them - burn out isn't fun.

If it is, well. Sometimes people decide it's just not for them. I knew a guy who was literally on the edge of getting his doctoral, and decided he didn't want to do that with his life and started working construction, and was happy doing that until he retired.

Sad fact - lots of very qualified immigrants are doing the lowest paid, non-related jobs.

Hello, different anon here. I'm Canadian (Torontonian) and I hear it a lot too. I often hear this as a warning to new immigrants more than a complaint. Maybe it's the difference between the people we know? (I know a lot of immigrants personally and I don't take taxis.)

[(Anonymous)]

It's not just Canadians, exactly. The difference is that we don't exactly complain about it, so much as we've got groups that help immigrants get better jobs/set up their own business.

[(Anonymous)]

How effect are the groups? I've noticed that a lot of Canadian companies look for employees with experience working in Canada, and new immigrants can't get hired because they don't have Canadian experience. It's an unemployment catch-22.

[oftheark]

I work for a branch of the Canadian government and our hiring policy has absolutely no specification as to where experience comes from, so long as you have it. There are also plenty of immigrants working in various positions. I've actually never seen a job posting in the few times I've been unemployed myself that specified that experience be "Canadian" and that reads a lot like discrimination to me. Not that I'm saying it absolutely never happens, I just disagree that it's the norm to the point it's a major factor in unemployment among immigrants.
