I hear these kinds of stories regularly and I always wonder about them, too. Some people say that places wouldn't hire them because they were over-qualified for the jobs they were applying for. Like some corporate exec trying to get a job at McDonald's. I guess there must be some truth to those stories because I see them often. I suppose the employers don't want to hire and train someone who is going to jump ship as soon something better comes along.

I can certainly understand not being able to easily replace a high paying job, but still, I can't believe that someone is unable to find any gainful employment for 3 years.
