Unfortunately these days, employers will have to face an increasing number of applicants who will be trying out for jobs they are highly overqualified for. With the unemployment rate rising, more and more people no longer have a choice about the kinds of jobs they’re pursuing. Sadly, these tough economic times have been forcing many highly skilled individuals to shift careers and downsize their jobs involuntarily, and to apply for jobs that they claim they would never have dreamed of doing in a previous life. Take the story of the hedgefund manager who earned $750,000 a year just a few short years ago. He’s now a pizza delivery guy.

While I applaud that he actually is working and trying to do something, at the same time -- could they have put a dollar aside? Part of that particular family's problems is exactly that -- just spend, spend, spend, look at me, I'm rich.
And especially in his hedgefund job??? You couldn't possibly think it was neverending.
I'm sorry to see anyone in bad circumstances, but I'm not overly sympathetic to people like this.
