164. Yeah and some white males have the same problem I do.
My SO has an Associate's degree in video production and has student loans from that he can't pay. He went back to school after being laid off from the oil bidness, and thought it would make him more employable. Ha!!! He couldn't get a job with a TV station doing video editing which is what he wanted to do.

He couldn't find anything in R&D which is what he really wanted to do after getting a B.S. and M.S. in math/physics. He wanted to go into nuclear physics and figured out the relationship between gravity and the electromagnetic force but his stupid faculty advisors wouldn't let him write his thesis on black holes. 38 years later NASA is catching up with him, by sending up Gravity Probe B.

Just cuz you're a white guy with an education equivalent to mine (ridiculously long) doesn't mean you can get a job either.
