<p>Sam Biddle, an unemployed class of 2010 Philosophy major in NYC, is <a href="http://www.theawl.com/2010/06/diary-of-an-unemployed-class-of-10-philosophy-major-in-new-york-city-part-1">having a rough go of it</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>At what point do I stop checking Craigslist? Why is there an ad for &quot;MYSTERY SHOPPING&quot; in the &quot;writing/editing jobs&quot; category? How much is their purported “nominal compensation”? A ten dollar per diem? A bag of buttons? A punch in the throat? “THIS IS NOT A FREE MEAL!,&quot; the ad warns. Well, then. Forget it! Why does this company leave the ‘i’ in ‘iNC’ uncapitalized? Perhaps this is some sort of test—for a prospective mystery shopper-slash-editor? What other horrors can I spot? I wonder if the person who wrote “boutique mystery shopping company seeks strong writers” felt as sad writing that as I do reading it.</p>
