Lol @ all the hate on "Arts" students here. Arts student here and I personally have never had a problem finding work since I was 15. And right now I don't even have my degree yet (1.5 years to go) but I'm making $22/hr at my current part-time job. Enough to pay for school each semester without taking loans or un-necessary debt.

Personally, I think it has less to do with one's degree than it does with people's sense of entitlement and their misplaced idea that they should finish school as fast as possible in order to find a job. I know a lot of people who graduated with many different majors, who are unable to find work because they wanted to finish in 4 years instead of taking their time to do co-ops, internships, or even just plain work so they can gain competencies that employers are looking for besides a degree.

The amount of people I've met who want $15/hr for a low-skilled McJob is insane... simply because they have a stamped piece of paper with zero "real work" credentials to back it up. Vancouver may be an overpriced city but don't blame the system for your lack of work ethic!
