Things that don’t bode well for college students in this economy.

From the Classified section of the student paper at my fair university late last week, the full extent of the listings under “Employment”:

In case you can’t read the text in the image:

$ $ Sperm Donors Wanted $ $
Earn up to $1,200/month and help create families. Convenient Palo Alto location. Apply online: [URL redacted]

_____
Female Masseuse Wanted
For a private gentlemen [sic], no experience necessary.
Minimum age 18 Cash. [sic]
[phone number redacted]

I don’t even know what to say about this. Except that I hope the Career Center has more options.

    • It’s quite possible that the people looking for egg donors have decided that egg donation is too time-intensive or physically rigorous a process for the typical egg-bearing CSU student to be interested in undertaking it. Or that they don’t advertise for egg donors because our student population skews older than “traditional” college students. Or that they’d rather try to get ova from Stanford or Berkeley students. I’m not really sure.

      But hey, the female egg-bearing CSU students are invited to rub “a gentlemen” for cash! No experience necessary!
