So if you do not have a billable skill yet want to stay in Roanoke, where do you work? If in the short-term money is important to you because of student loan repayments, and other cost of living expenses, then a job in food services may be appealing to you. You can earn more money as a server with flexible hours than working for less money with more rigid hours trying to establish a career in your field of study. There is certainly nothing wrong with a career in food service, but most college graduates do not say I am going to college so when I graduate I can be a server at a local restaurant. This UNDERemployment workforce is operating in a short-term mentality and eventually will catch up with them to the point they are cast to a specific industry. The next time you go to a local restaurant and the server is younger ask them if they are a college graduate, you will be surprised.
