What they are teaching in college nowadays

Received an AA degree in 1982, never had a problem finding work before that or after that (until 2009-read on).

Returned to a public California State University to complete a Bachelor's degree, graduating in 2009. I have not worked since 2009 graduation. Put in many, many applications (over the internet) not one offer, not one interview, nothing.

Gave-up job "hunting" (and I'm not a quitter) and moved to Mexico to make ends meet until social security finally kicked in last year. My AA degree, my BA degree, and 36 years work experience (law enforcement and other stuff) evidently didn't mean squat.
