I think the most interesting thing is the mention that a huge number of college grads work at Apple stores.
I wonder if this is just due to the economy with more educated people just gravitating to retail in general or whether employment at an Apple store has a prestige that is comparable to a more traditional role for a degree holder?
What else are you going to do, if you are young, intelligent, naive, and have spent 4 years working very hard but acquiring no actually marketable skill? You 'start at the bottom' like your parents tell you.
Of course, they don't realize that the bottom goes nowhere today.
