Entitlement in cultural resource management job hunting

Check out this great post from Bill White of Succinct Research on job hunting and recent graduate entitlement: 

I have seen what Bill discusses in both undergraduate and graduate folks. I agree that the entitled attitude is not usually successful in helping folks land jobs. On the other hand, I've seen and continue to see overqualified folks take jobs well under their pay grade and skill set. There's nothing wrong with working as a technician when you have advanced skills and experience as long as that's the job you agreed to perform. There are many things wrong with classifying and paying your project manager or principal investigator as a technician. Don't get me started on agencies/firms that advertise a position at a lower grade than the work they want done.
