Who do I vote for so that there are more IB jobs after graduation?

I'm going to be a college freshman soon, and in four years I really hope I don't have it as rough as some current seniors who are applying for IB jobs. Now that I get to vote, who do you think will provide me with the best ib options post-graduation? I'm thinking Obama might not be a good option because of his pro regulation spiel, wheras Romney obviously has very close ties to wall street and finance. Cheers!

Your vote is insignificant. Calling it a drop in the bucket is being generous.

That said, I think IB won't be affected too much by the man in the White House, liberal or conservative. Larger economic forces are at play and IB will continue to shrink.

I hate it when people say this. It's this kind of mindset that makes people not want participate in our democratic system.

I know I'm being cynical but it's true. I've campaigned for political causes before, but I don't actually vote since there is no point.

 

OP the sooner you understand how the world actually operates the better off you'll be. You're only a freshman so if you can figure things now out you'll have a headstart on literally 99.99% of your peers. Break out of the notion that you have to vote for either a republican or a democrat, that is a false dichotomy and there is literally no substantive difference between the two major parties. Both are a cancer to this country. Research the history of the US and see how far we've strayed from our founding principles of liberty, freedom, and limited government. Don't let people tell you Wall Street greed was the reason we had a financial crisis, that was the doing of big government. Research the most powerful cartel on earth, the Federal Reserve System. And most importantly, research Ron Paul.

My personal opinion is that the economy will not recover within the next ten years, we are likely to see another severe market dislocation within 5, and a depression is not of the table. If you understand history, I don't think that's a very controversial statement. Best thing you can do at this point is to become enlightened.
