I Hold a PhD in Southern Mill Town Unemployment
Sep 12, 2010 Valerie Hegwood

My Associates Degree in Unemployment

Finishing up My Bachelor’s Degree in Unemployment

Masters in Unemployment

My Doctorate Thesis
I have tried to secure at least part-time employment but am turned down for one of two reasons: I am under-qualified or I am over-qualified. Nothing is ever ‘just right,’ as Goldilocks would infer. For two years, our area displayed the highest unemployment rate in the state.

Because Georgia is broke, schools are hurting and hundreds of teachers have been dismissed. All I have is time. At 42, I have received a PhD in Southern Unemployment: because of the sorry condition of Georgia schools and my gifted son had already skipped a grade and remained bored, I am now homeschooling him. Between that thesis and that of the three year old toddler girl, I could not take a job now should I be magically offered one.

Call me Dr. Stay At Home Mom
