Well, looks like Teabonics on the left to me. Apparently people don't bother to proofread their signs they use in protests.
What needs to be understood, is that, you feel (and can demonstrate) that you go the short end of the stick, and feel that there is an elite class who increasingly gets ahead, and you don't, then it doesn't matter how much you speak about "living off the wealth and privilege provided a global capitalist system". Hard to say anyone lives off it, when you have a mound of debt for the "honor" of buying lottery tickets.
I, for example, am sitting on piles of student loan debt, and wonder if I should drive anywhere. Who am I supposed to show graditute do for this? This student loan debt can't be discharged as any other. People have been sold lots and lots of lies, and now the bill comes due.
As of now, what isn't a "useless career"? Is everyone supposed to go into nursing or become a truck driver? That and engineering were shown as three "hot job" categories out there. You know what? How about allowing bankruptcy to cause student loans going away, and not bailing out colleges, and then see what happens next? A lot of colleges would close. People pick useless careers because loans are given out for them.

There are many educational fields that are structured in a way that there is one post grad position for every 10 (or more) graduates, there is one teaching/researching position for every 10 (or more) post grad students, and the only jobs that exist in these fields are in academia; and these academic positions are strictly based on teaching new students in the field and/or writing books that you force these students to read. In other words, these fields are gigantic Ponzi schemes which are fed through borrowed money backed by the government and the lies of countless people.
With so many intelligent, hard working people, and over educated people in the system the lack of jobs has pushed many of these failed academics to get more education; and more often than not these individuals choose to become lawyers. This has once again created a situation where there is one working law position for every 10 (or more) graduates, and one particularly wealthy lawyer for every working lawyer.
Now, these dramatically over educated individuals decide to "create" a "career" for themselves and this typically involves them becoming community organizers, starting not-for-profits or non-governmental agencies, or becoming lobbyists; and their "job" effectively becomes petitioning the government to give them taxpayer dollars to be paid well with a fancy title and do absolutely no good for anyone.
These community organizers and lobbyists are perfect examples of worthless careers.
