Overqualified is as ridiculous a term as giving 110%. -- nm - Max Jan 28, 10:20 1
- Overqualified is a term employers use to mean "We can't afford to pay him what he's looking for" - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:34
(nitpick, 13 million is not "almost half" of 41 million) -- nm - znufrii Jan 28, 10:02 1
- almost a third, almost half, same thing. -- nm - Spawn Jan 28, 10:17
*adds 1 more tally to the education bubble* - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:02 3
- How do you make that determination, though, without inviting the accusation that you're unfairly depriving kids of educational opportunities? - znufrii Jan 28, 10:05 2
  - Yes, it's tricky. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 28, 10:07 1
