Thank you for your service

By Pooper scooper - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - Guam - Yigo

Today, I realized that my dog has more work experience than I do. He's a retired military working dog, and I have a Master's degree. FML

Well since he's retired there's a position opened up as a service dog in the military. I bet they've never had a service dog with a masters degree before!

Or follow in your dogs pawsteps and take up puppy school, maybe you'll have better luck with that kind of education.

Sit pretty and beg, OP! Jobs like these don't come by very often.

Military service dogs are more likely to be sniffing out land mines. I don't think OP will want that job.

Well it's up to you to make your life worth something. Get out there and get a job that will give you more experience.

It's not that easy in these times, especially in some places, to find a job that has anything to do with your master's, or even any job for that matter.

Can someone please tell me how long the "in these times/in this economy" lines are going to be relied upon? It's been about 7 years now and they're getting as stale as Chuck Norris jokes.

Well I don't know about the USA, but here in France unemployment hit a new record in 2013, job openings are low, and we're still in what we call "The Crisis." As long as we are still in this mess, I guess I'll still refer to it as "in these times."

They're going to be relied upon for as long as the economy sucks. People aren't just saying these lines for ***** and giggles, they're saying them because they're true.
