BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR AN APPLEBEE'S TABLE WAITING JOB, BE SURE TO FINISH COLLEGE
NY Times - When her supervisor asked her to go for a walk, Theone Ferron, an office manager at a pharmaceutical company, feared the worst. Her company had already laid off about a quarter of its employees. And by the end of her walk with her boss, Ms. Ferron had joined the ranks of the jobless, let go without any severance pay. She was eight months pregnant with her second child. . .
Initially, she sought a position similar to the one she had lost, but without success. "There are just too many executives who are willing to take a step down and do that work," she said.
She was turned down for a waitress's job at an Applebee's restaurant because she had not finished college, she said, a rejection that still makes her shake her head. "Can you believe they wanted a degree just to wait tables?"

Yes Ms. Ferron I "believe they wanted a degree just to wait tables." As a matter of fact, why do you need a high school diploma to wait tables, when newspapers are written for 11th grade reading skills? I have never seen a menu on a reading skills test.
