Is it just me?

I am curious to know if anyone out there has thought about our economy. I guess you could consider me a graduate, or what sounds much better, a recent graduate and I am still frantically trying to find my place in the job market. I am hesitant to be loyal to companies because I watched Enron and the demise of accounting firms, who helped such scoundrels, in its wake. It is even more impossible to have gainful employment due to the disruption of the market. Those fired, layed off or pushed from their jobs who were older and more established are now taking the entry-level jobs from the new graduates. I don't see how anyone could miss these disparities. I and others in my generation are quite possibly looking at never having a traditional career or maybe my generation will be the generation that defines the new definition of "career." Due to the upheavals in recent years, will "career" be defined as "continuous job to job prospects," never settling into one career? Will we really fill out the "jack of all trades, master of none" saying not because we wouldn't have liked to master a career but because the opportunity never presented itself? Will we never settle into a career because by the time the opportunity presents itself we will be well into our mid to late thirties? Mid to late thirties would have been the hey-day of some of our parents career. At this age we might just be beginning our careers. This is a travesty. I have even heard from some well-read people that in some statistical data McDonald's grill cooks are considered manufacturing jobs in order to beef up the numbers. The Boy Scouts of America is in trouble for padding their membership roles. And some are saying they do this because their directors are under intense stress to get offices up and running. I mean really "Boy Scouts of America!" I feel as if we are living in the outfall of the 80's. Maybe we are returning to the 80's. Maybe the 90's were really the 80's revisited and never learned. Maybe we are going back. Either way what I am well aware of is my day-to-day struggle of job-hunting. I have two degrees and find myself consistently placed into the "overqualified" bin. I don't know if these jobs are looking for loyalty and in that way think I won't stay. Someone needs to discuss the "new environmental definition" of loyalty to human resources. I find it hard that a generation who has grown up seeing such job instability will ever find the loyalty of baby boomers. I mean seriously, the baby boomers are shaking in their boots trying to hold onto their jobs. They are just praying they can keep their jobs until they decide to retire. I find no loyalty in shaking in my boots. I don't see that a person who has less then a college education would find loyalty in this job market. Just because they don't have a college education doesn't mean they are stupid or that they feel like they are so beholden to a company that they would risk their retirement and life investments. Maybe someone can explain to me what their thoughts are on a somewhat "back-on-track" job market. I am only starting to express my frustrations.
