No land - No job

I woke up at 5 o’clock this morning to the sound of what I thought was The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse charging up the sidewalk. All of a sudden there was a loud explosion sound followed by a heavy, wet, thump noise. I fully expected to find the carcass of very large water fowl on my porch. I found my newspaper instead.

The news inside the paper was just as terrifying as it’s delivery. A headline on the front page reads, “Northwest land being devoured by new homes” and a headline on the front page of the local section reads “No jobs to be found here.” Now that’s scary.

The article talks about how CSUB students were told on Career Day recently that if they want a job after graduation they should move. I don’t get it. If so many people are moving here and the land is being “devoured” by homes, why aren’t there any jobs for college graduates? And who in the world is buying all these houses?
