| Your student might just become Presdent with a career in Community Organizing! |
The above title is from a craigslist posting for student jobs. When did community organizing become a career? Does community organizing make the United States STEM ready and globally competitive? Do you remember this posting from last year about jobs for students to fight far right extremism and advance progressive causes?
Your student has more opportunities on craigslist to advance those causes this summer. :

**********************************************************
Maybe community organizing jobs are the only ones available to your student this summer since 100,000 jobs have been given to foreign students by the Obama administration. From ign.com:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/may/24/number-of-high-school-students-with-jobs-hits-20-y/
Wow, just 16% of high school students are employed for the summer, an all time low. That is down from 32% in 1990.
Meanwhile, over 100,000 foreign students will land summer jobs here in the US under a US work sponsored travel program.

In a time where outsourcing American jobs is viewed unfavorably, I hope future Administrations spend a bit more time trying to get American teenagers these jobs.
************************************************************
Apparently the focus from these self-named grassroots, community organizing groups isn't centered on the influx of foreign teenagers taking jobs American students could be working this summer or the high unemployment of high school/college aged students. From another craigslist posting (I'm wondering if "progressive issues you care about" include future full-time employment for American citizens):
