The annual report on job prospects for college grads has aired, with Marketing majors the top prospect. This makes perfect sense as spinning the unpalatable into something desirable is on the increase.

Top salary belongs to Chemical Engineers, the high mortality rate warrants it, what with constant AWACS surveillance and the high cost of Banana boats.

Fishing jobs were again omitted, prospects for your average fish bum remain dim. Nice try, but you may want to stick with your current cubicle-based vocation.

A Singlebarbed sampler of top angling openings yields a paltry mix of fishcutters ($8.00/hour), a Business Development Director for a Bass resort, editor for “The Fisherman” magazine, and a Marketing Coordinator willing to promote fishing to trade unions. If your requirements involve fly fishing, then Orvis is hiring computer geek’s.

Proof that the demise of the Adjustable Rate Mortgage has spread to the angling industry, or merely coincidence?
